Yep, it would put a lot of stress on the server. You can see an example of this in the big hack threads here when making a new reply - it will sometimes take up to 30 seconds or a minute before the post is made, and you are redirected to the thread, because the server has to send out dozens or hundreds of emails (or in cases that include entire boards, thousands of emails).
Would be better if you created a newsgroup instead.
