Well, the sender told us to use the caller ID 1234, so it is not a bug.
It's like a mail reply-to header, even if the actual sender's address is
different, we use the reply-to to respond. SIP has a notion of AOR and
Contact addresses, the second address may be a temporary contact address
we should not use to call back.

Use the dialplan functions to retrieve the From: header if you want the
full address.

This is something we need to consider how to handle better for the next
generation SIP channel.
