Exchange 2013 forwarding to two external email addresses
We need the ability to forward emails sent to an Exchange mailbox to 2 x external email addresses. What's the best way to accomplish this?
Hi,
Create the 2 external contacts in exchange, create a distribution group, add the 2 external contacts to this group, redirect the mailbox to the distribution group.

becraig,
Please read my post again. This is for Exchange 2013.

Process still the same except for a different UI:

I read your post properly, you can do what I said with the EAC...

Glingo. I was talking to becraig. I addressed it to becraig. Anyway.. Do.. If we install EMC we can do this without PowerShell?

Never mind. I don't have a Windows 8 virtual desktop to use or a 2012 server to use to install 2013 EMC on.
Oh ok,
Yeah sure, you'll have the web interface (on your mail server http://127.0.0.1/ecp) and you'll can create the external contacts, the distribution group and setup the redirection on the mailbox from there :)

I'll spin up a window 8 VM and install EMC and get back to you.
As you can see from my post this can be done from the EAC using the same steps in my first post
Create contact - then setup forwarding.

Glingo,
I read you have to use PowerShell to send to external email recipient. I don't see any option in ECP to do this.

ok so I am guessing you have not looked at my post:
Send Email To External Contact Via GUI / ECP
To start open the EAC and create a new Mail Contact in Exchange 2013 with the correct name and External SMTP email address.
Once done browse to the mailbox that you would like to forward mail from to the new contact and choose edit, then select Mailbox Features and Mail Flow.
Recipient > Mailboxes > mailbox > Mailbox Features > Mail FlowRecipients > Contacts
Then simply enable Mail Forwarding , browse and select the Mail Contact we created in the earlier step.

Gopher,
Becraig explained you how to do it, but I still think you'll have to create a distribution group since you can only redirect a mailbox to one other mailbox, contact or distribution group.

Glingo if you noticed in the first step:
We are creating a new contact with the external address (separate contact for each external address) in EAC.
I am not sure however if the OP simply does not want to use the GUI.
