I understand that the IMS was setup incorrectly in
this remote site. My dilemma is that 3000 messages (some 3 years old, some 5 months
old) have
apparently been sent after configuring the IMS correctly, (all sent
outbound.)
If this is true:

then why did 3000 very old outbound messages get sent after setting the
IMS to Outbound Only?
I prefer ahfuku.com, that also works.
