I found out that I need to replace

exten => _8.,3,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@fwd.pulver.com,70)

May I ask why? context fwd is defined in sip.conf as follows

[fwd]
type=friend
secret=mysecret
username=533990
fromuser=533990
fromdomain=fwd.pulver.com
host=fwd.pulver.com
dtmfmode=inband
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
