    To be honest, it's a bit of a mess as you can actually have the same address added twice:

    Name                RecipientType RecipientTypeDetails
    ----                ------------- --------------------
    temp                MailContact   MailContact
    tempxxx_abv.bg#EXT# MailUser      GuestMailUser

    The "trick" is to have the contact first, then provision the Guest account. Doesn't really make much sense to me, but TonyRedmond seems to see the logic in all this and perhaps can explain it better :)
