The OUT chain only pertains to processes running on the box, ie a logged in user, an automated task via cron, etc. There are technically packets going OUT of the box all day long. Its got to start from the box to be really be considered OUT. I still havent upgraded to the latest version to see if it corrects itself. And no, that didnt make any sense. ;-)

addon: I swear AO adds grammatical errors when the replys upload. They sneak extra words into your sentences. I just know they do.
