How to configure mail forwarding in Exchange 2007
This procedure describes how to configure a mailbox to forward mail to either a mail-enabled contact or another mailbox. It can be configured through GUI (EMS - exchange Management Console) but here I'll show how to do it via PowerShell (EMS - Exchange Management Shell).
$srcMbx="Test" # forward copy of all messages from this mailbox
$dstMbx="ShayL" # mailbox to receive forwarded messages from source mailbox
# list forwarded mailboxes for user "Test" (default settings for new mailbox, no one)
PS > Get-Mailbox -Identity $srcMbx | fl deliver*,forward*
DeliverToMailboxAndForward : False
ForwardingAddress :
# Set forward messages (copy) to ShayL mailbox
Set-Mailbox -Identity $srcMbx -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true;
Set-Mailbox -Identity $srcMbx -ForwardingAddress $((get-mailbox -Identity $dstMbx).DistinguishedName);
# Check again
PS > Get-Mailbox -Identity $srcMbx | fl deliver*,forward*
DeliverToMailboxAndForward : True
ForwardingAddress : DomainName/Users/Shay Levy
### EDIT ###
The command can be issued as a one liner:
Set-Mailbox user -DeliverToMailboxAndForward:$True -ForwardingAddress name@domain.com
###########
# Check the GUI, Exchange > Recipient Configuration > Mailbox > Test

what is the script for disabling mail forwarding?
Clear the ForwardingAddress property:
Set-Mailbox -Identity userName -ForwardingAddress $null
Let's say I want to know if a forwarder has been set on a mailbox, how would I use this script? (for all mailboxen on a server)
Hi Roger,
The info you're looking for is a mailbox ForwardingAddress property. This will list all mailboxes which has this attribute set (Name and ForwardingAddress).
Get-Mailbox -resultSize unlimited -Filter {ForwardingAddress -ne $null} | select Name,ForwardingAddres
Excellent! Thanx!
Hi
Thanks for this post. I have been asked to put a powershell script together to find out who has alt recipient set from a list in a csv file. This csv file will contain a list of smtp addresses to search against do you know how I will go about doing this
That should be fairly easy, say you have a csv file with one column 'email' and below a list of email addresses:
Import-Csv emails.csv | Get-Mailbox -Identity {$_.email} | where {$_.forwardingAddress -ne $null}
Thank you very much for your help much appreciated you have helped me get out of a big hole once again much appreciated
