    You should be grouping similar clauses together, via parenthesis, otherwise the logic gets broken. So:

    (blabla) -and ((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact'))

I have tried stripping back the filter but still cannot get it to exclude accounts with the exclude custom attribute set.

 

set-dynamicdistributiongroup -identity "Everyone" -RecipientFilter "((((CustomAttribute1 -ne 'EXCLUDE') -or (ExtensionCustomAttribute1 -ne 'EXCLUDE')) -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -or (RecipientType -eq 'MailContact')) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')))"
