PDA or Blackberry. :)

It's also possible that the same user is logged on to many machines at
once (e.g. the same SQL service account running on many SQL servers
and all of them using the XP_Sendmail extended procedure).

We've experimented with setting this limit to a larger value and those
freakin' Blackberries (or the BES) just won't terminate the MAPI
sessions. We stopped after reaching 2000 sessions. :(
