I battered my postfix server with 200K mails once. Just for a stress
test. The load on the server went up sharply and was a bit sluggish but
postfix chugged along through it with very little impact to other
services running on the system.

Anyway I can prepare for it?

Thanks! I am not just worried about the system performance, but
possible blacklisting as it may send flurry of mails to external domains.

Yes sending out 100k messages which probably means you will send many to
the same domain may trash the ip ( blacklist ) sending the mail. You
will know this rather quickly as it hits. I would not allow the mail to
go or wait till it backlogs and use postsuper to delete them which isn't
very eloquent.
