Do these 3000 recipients exist on your server or outside ?

If outside and this is a common mail being sent to all users , then just
set your postfix server to accept the mail , send the mails in smaller

( default_destination_recipient_limit=10 ? )


Handling bounces,abuse complaints etc will have to be managed
