A mail contact is a non - mailbox - enabled Exchange Server 2007 Recipient. It is an Active Directory
Services contact that is used to contain information about people that exist outside of the Exchange
organization. Mail contacts can be part of distribution or address lists including the Global Address List
(GAL). They are used primarily for mail routing and these contacts do not have access to any internal
resources in the Exchange organization. For example, during a migration phase, an Exchange
organization may coexist with a Lotus Notes organization and may choose to synchronize all the Lotus
Notes users to the Active Directory as mail contacts. After migration, all Lotus Notes users would be
converted to mailbox - enabled Active Directory Services users.
