Exchange 2013 , forward mail for a mailbox to an external SMTP address
Please advise how with the new Exchange 2013 I can forward mail for a user mailbox to an external address?
On my old server I was able to create a 'Contact' item in Exchange 2003 and then use the Delivery Options to Forward to the contact.
With Exchange 2013 I can only see an option to forward to another mailbox within the same organisation.
I found this Help article at Microsoft

Is this the only way? Is there an easier way?

You may need to create a 'contact', in Exchange Admin center first

Ok, I've added the contact. Just entering the Shell command now....

I get an error back:
Couldn't find object "name@gmail.com". Please make sure it was spelled correctly or specify a different object.
*note "name@gmail.com" is where I put the address of where I wanted the mail forwarded to.

Did you create a contact first?
New-MailContact -Name "Pete Long" -ExternalEmailAddress "name@gmail.com" -OrganizationalUnit "THE NAME Of YOUR OU"
New-MailContact -Name "Pete Long" -ExternalEmailAddress "name@gmail.com" -OrganizationalUnit "THE NAME Of YOUR OU"
