I'm not sure whether you can set up multiple SMTP servers with the same priority in the MX records. Otherwise you can multiplex your domain name out to multiple IPs. I don't imagine you really want to have to organise 100,000 users into changing their pop server settings. You can probably multiplex your domain name out to multiple machines all connecting via NFS (probably a dedicated mini-network between the servers), and have all of your mail stored on one file system. There was a fairly detailed discussion of a setup like this on freebsd-isp last year. It would be well worth finding that discussion in the archives.
