Try the Get-Recipient cmdlet:

Get-Recipient [email protected]

it should return any matching object.

Hi,

We could see from the section "Microsoft Exchange recipient" in the TN article: Recipients and learn about what it is:

"The Microsoft Exchange recipient is a special recipient object that provides a unified and well-known message sender that differentiates system-generated messages from other messages. It replaces the System Administrator sender that was used for system-generated messages in earlier versions of Exchange.

The Microsoft Exchange recipient isn't a typical recipient object, such as a mailbox, mail user, or mail contact, and it isn't managed by using the typical recipient tools. However, you can use the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell to configure the Microsoft Exchange recipient."

We could use the following command to get the email address of it: 

Get-OrganizationConfig | fl MicrosoftExchangeRecipientEmailAddresses

For details, refer to:
Understanding the Microsoft Exchange Recipient

Hope it helps.
