Have a INFO@BLABLA.com email account I need to setup so that I can get the messages forwarded to my account. Don't want to setup a fake user on AD, just want a new mailbox. Anybody know how? Thanks--
 
set up a pop3 connector in exchange (two types - one generic the other specific to a single user).
Single user type allows you to just specify the recipient then and there. Otherwise if you set up the generic one you then add the email address you mentioned to your user account in AD under the email address tab (smtp type I think).
 
If you just want the email sent to info@blabla arrive in your Inbox, just create a second smtp address for your user account.

I have an OU that contains only "fake" users, as I find that a lot easier to manage, especially months/years later when I need to find a specific mailbox.

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
