"incoming" == "this is the last stop" (now deliver it to a folder)
"outgoing" == "not staying here" (hand it off to the next system)

Kinda like an airport or a train station, "departures" and "arrivals".
See my previous post (about 2 seconds ago), Dave C. cleared it up.

Right. As Dave C. said, all message come in and go out, one way or
another :-).
