How many kByte is it there ?

If I count 128 Bytes for each entry, it will be around 153 kBytes
and for 50.000 around 6 MBytes.

Why do you need to fetch from 50.000 Accounts ?

Only SPAMer do this with auto-generated E-Mails on Freemail-Services
(they generate one e-Mail for each SPAMed victim and then they check,
whether the victim has answered or not)
