probably 500 or so ... a few years back when I was a college dropout, I wrote a program that scoured www.yellowpages.com for you and automatically parsed the pages that returned when you searched for a certain type of business in a given zip code ... it then recorded relevent data into a microsoft access database, which could then be imported into microsoft word to make mailing lables .... worked pretty fucking wonderfully. I was able to effectivley junk-mail my resume out to every single corporation I wanted to .... I had it automatically generating cover-letters and mailing labels, so literally all I had to do was print, fold, attatch business card, seal and send...
The most I ever did at once was 500, and of that 500 I probably got 5 responses, but I wound up getting what at the time was a pretty damned good paying job, so it was well worth it
