Show us your configuration of the handling context, sip.conf and the output of the CLI when you send it. ---

Does X-Lite even support this? It’s a loss leader product, so I wouldn’t expect any bells and whistles. As others have said, you cannot expect an answer to such an open question on a peer support forum. ---

${ACTUAL\_TOS} is an undefined variable. Setting ${ACTUAL\_TO} and then changing it to something else if it wasn’t set to same something else seems a waster of effort. The synopsis of MessageSend requires a URI, ${ACTUAL\_TO} is not a URI, so, even if you passed the right variable, I can’t see its working. ---
