asterisk users - Sep 2015 - Respond to an out of call SIP MESSAGE

Hi,

I'm having trouble configuring Asterisk to respond to an incoming out of
call SIP MESSAGE. The transport protocol is TLS and the Asterisk version is 10
(it's old, but I'm kind of stuck with it at the moment). Currently I
have roughly the following configuration and handling:

sip.conf:

[general]
accet_outofcall_messages=yes
outofcall_message_context=sip-im

and extensions.conf

[sip-im]
exten _X!, 1, NoOp(Got message)
exten _X!, n, Answer()
exten _X!, n, Agi(agi://localhost/messagehandler.agi?...)
exten _X!, n, SendText(Message received)

I can see in the log from Asterisk that the script in the sip-im context is
running, but there is no message sent. I have followed the code in the call, and
it seems like there is no channel registered with the SendText application. Is
there some other approach that I could use to send a SIP MESSAGE back to the
client? Does the client need to register for this to work?

BR,
Emil

Could it be in the [general] section you should have;

accept_outofcall_message=yes

Your line appears to be missing the 'p' in accept and an extraneous
's'
in message.

I am not an expert but perhaps you want this.

[sip-im]
  exten s,1,NoOp(Got message)
    same,n,Answer()
    same,n,Agi(agi://localhost/messagehandler.agi?...)
    same,n,SendText(Message received)

Replacing "exten _X!" with "same" is just a shortcut.  I
find that
there are lots of places where spaces cause problems so I just remove
them all for good measure.  Finally, I am not sure what the mechanism
is here but if it is like a goto then I think that you want the 's'
priority.

Or, I totally don't know what I am talking about and my education will
be advanced by the replies to this message.  :-)

If you want to send an out of call SIP MESSAGE request, you'll need to
use the MessageSend application:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+10+Application_MessageSend

SendText is used for sending text messages within a call. Since a SIP
channel is not servicing the out of call text message, you cannot use
it to send a SIP MESSAGE request back to whatever sent the original
SIP MESSAGE request.
