Just that the setting applies to all users on your system (unless you can lock it to IP). It's meant as an anti-spam throttle check, so if a user of yours gets infected you can at least slow/minimize the number of spam messages their computer sends out. Note that there is a hard limit of something like 320 set during compilation time, so any value set above that will still stop at 320. To verify this default, search the archives for a message I posted on this topic a while back. Maybe even as far back as 3 years ago.
