Wow!  Your sig is a message by itself.  That aside, I have to give my pat
answer, no.  Now, had you thrown in a requirement to complete the delivery
before the next newsletter is released, there are too many "if"s to be able
to answer that accurately.

Would you use bulk_mailer to break down the recipients list by domains?
Do you have a lot of CPU horsepower and broad bandwidth?
Are any of your list subscribers on ISPs that block spam?  Many times, 
limits of 15 (or some number) recipients are imposed to help fight spam.
Are all 100,000 addresses deliverable? (won't bounce)
These are just the tip of the iceberg.
