The Mail-Recipient object class is exposed through LDAP as the "person" object class. This class is inherited by all object classes to which mail can be sent, such as mailbox, custom-recipient, distribution-list, and public-folder.
This object class is abstract, defined only so that other object classes in the directory can inherit its attributes. You cannot create an instance of this object class; rather, you can create instances of the classes that inherit from it. Mail-Recipient (person) Attributes
