Please do not use HTML when sending email as it adds nothing to the
display and more than doubles the data sent for the same message on top
of including the non HTML message.

What you need is to separate the users by using contexts in the
extensions conf. This is a regularly asked question.

[sip-outbounds]
exten => _9......,1,Dial(Your sip provider details)

[extensions]
Your internal extensions

[inbound]
The matching for inbound calls.
include => extensions

[restricted-users]
include => extensions

[not-restricted-users]
include => extensions
include => sip-outbounds


Hopefully this makes sense.
