The smtp route will be taken irrespective unless the Lotus notes connector is configured for an address space of *foobar.com and has
a lower cost than the smtp route over the internet. Hence setting the cost on the connector from the Bridgehead Exch1 alone will not
be enough. Note it Exch1 not 2 as the answer in B says
