Thanks to Philipp, Eric and Vic for their responses. In the end, I decided
to use Philipp's approach and it works like a charm!

I prefer a slightly cleaner method:
1. create a type=peer entry for each outgoing FWD account in sip.conf.
For example you have [fwd-out_joe], [fwd-out_bob], [fwd-out_mary] where
you specify the individual username, fromuser and password
2. in sip.conf put each of your local phone users into their own context
like context=from-joe or context=from-mary
3. in extension.conf you do smth like "include => default" for each of
those person contexts like [from-joe], and arrange a FWD dialout like
_8X. = Dial(SIP/{EXTEN:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
If, however, you want to avoid individual contexts in extensions.conf you
could instead us DBput() and DBget() lookup the correct fwd-out_xxx
string based upon your local users's callerid.
Cheers, Philipp
