When someone send 100K emails on the server

Dear Friends,
I am a bit worried about a hypothetical questions like what will happen to
the server if some notorious guy (if he will) send lets say 100K emails on
mine server to an email address or different emails on the same server, I
mean what will be the result, how to protect against this kind of bombs.
I am running a server with virtual users by mysql.
The emails might have a limited space or unlimited email aspace on the
server.
Also more the case when the email is processed by a PERL script.
Pl. do clear my doubts , I am asking this question as one of mine friend has
questioned mine server security by asking this hypotherical question , how
can i answer him.
Thanks,
Abhishek Jain
