Actually, we created two SMTP connectors with address * already. Here is
our detailed configuration:
...........................................................
Routing group1: member-one ABC's FE server
SMTP connector (address space *)
Routing group connector to connect RG1 and RG2 (cost
1)

Routing group 2: member-ABC's two backend servers and one XYZ's backend
server
routing group connector between RG1 and RG2
routing group connector between RG2 and RG3


routing group3: member-one XYZ's FE server
SMTP connector (address space *)
routing group connector between RG3 AND RG1 (cost 20)

----------------------------------------------------------
What's your recommendation for cost? Our purpose is that emails are
automatically routed to the XYZ site in case ABC site T1 is down and I do not
need to manually change the cost.

Unless the connection between the routing groups is down the outbound
mail will still be delivered to the SMTP Virtual Server, assuming the
costs are the same.

1 20
RG1 <---> RG2 <----> RG3

For example, unless the RG1<->RG2 connection is down, mail from RG2 to
the 'net will still be delivered to RG1 where it will sit until it
expires (or the connection to the 'net is restored).
