Your configuration has "fromuser" set which explicitly sets the user 
portion of the From header to what you specify. This is commonly used 
for ITSPs as they use that to determine who you are trying to 
authenticate as. If you require this to be set then caller id 
information has to be transported in a different manner (RPID or PAI).
