How are Target addresses selected for Published Distribution Lists (4247518)

Some distribution lists have a TargetAddress populated at subscribing branches, and others do not.  How is this TargetAddress attribute populated during publication.

Collaboration Services does not populate the TargetAddress attribute on Distribution lists that are published from synchronization partners.  However if the attribute is populated on the distribution list prior to publication, the attribute will be populated on the subscribing end as well.

WORKAROUND

Apply the "Group to Contact" mapper to the Publication which you are publishing groups. The Group to Contact mapper will create a contact object in the subscribing forest (target side), and populate the TargetAddress attribute for use of mail routing.
