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.
If you're really worried, you can parse the queue for large amounts of
messages heading to the same external domain and release the associated
QUEUE IDs slowly. Bit of a crude option, but one you might consider.
I'm not sure that would be helpful. One of my IPs got throttled at Yahoo
for sending exactly two messages that looked spammy (but actually weren't).
The OP will probably have to take his lumps and fix it later.
