Lemme see. 100,000 * 15 * 3 = 4.5million deliveries a day.

It's probably more appropriate to ask whether your underlying qmail system
can deliver 4.5M messages a day. It's within the realms of possibility, but
a standard single spindle system probably wont hack it.
ezmlm won't be fussed if you create a user for each list and manage it that
way, so long as your OS copes with 100K users comfortably.
