Forwarding Email to external accounts

[Guest]

I need to be able to set up someones Outlook 2000 so that when they are out
of the office, any incoming mail is forwarded to a hotmail account or the
like. I have set a rule up instructing it to do this activated out of office
assistant etc. Is there something I need to do in Exchange as well to allow
external mail forwarding? I am using Exchange 5.5 at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
