Why 50? why not 100, 45, or (my personal favourite) "2 or more".

I'd go with 2.  Most of the thousands of operators of DCC clients seem
to like 20-50.  However, some contributors to this mailing list have
insisted that 500 is barely "bulk."

Given that an increasing percentage of spam (its over 15% for me) is
being mailmerged individually to the recipient, I suspect the
description "bulk" for spam at the payload/protocol level is going to be
of short lived use.
