Maybe you could configure a mail server and then write a script, which
sends a mass of mails via mail(1) to the address the thunderbird
fetches from. You could also say cron(8) to run mail(1) minutely or
so.

Best wishes

I have a setup to do this if you're interested. I can easily send you as
many 10MB (or more) emails that you'd like, as often as you'd like.


Contact me off-list if you're interested.

Thanks,
Mike

Here is one way to do it:
1. Setup a mail-sever on a old box [1].
2. Configure that server in a way that it does not refuse to send 100s
of 1000s of mails.


[1] If you never set up a mail-server take the one deeproot.in is
hacking on. In fact a smtp-server

maybe would be just enough.
