Mosquitto: An open-source MQTT broker
The lowest spec device I've come across Mosquitto being used is a 180MHz MIPS processor on 32MB RAM, running Linux.
Someone has recently taken the RSMB broker (from IBM originally) and ported it to the ESP32: https://github.com/DynamicDevices/picobroker I can't comment on what the limitations of that are though.

Printing emails based on Message Filters, does not seem possible
All of my office devices are connected to Sonoff S31 smart plugs, flashed with Tasmota on their own locked-down VLAN, and can be controlled via voice, Alexa, Tasker automation on my Android, NFC tags at my office door and various scripts triggered via my StreamDeck (on Linux). This all works fantastic, and I can turn on or off my devices, including my printer, when I start or end my day at work.

Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates
The best alternative firmware example for true IOT devices is Tasmota [1]. Erase manufacturer firmware for every ESP devices the day after purchase to avoid those careless manufacturer firmwares.

Sonoff smart plugs
The ESP8266 based Sonoff S31 and ESP32 based Switchbot plugs, both flashed with either Tasmota or ESPHome, are my go-to options for US WiFi smart plugs with power monitoring.

Add $4 WiFi Logging to IKEA’s $12 Air Quality Sensor (Wemos and Vindriktning)
And if you want to turn your ESP8266 into a standalone appliance, with a web interface and directly editable config that doesn't need a build step, Tasmota is another great option.
