This one's from the Sybex 70-284 book Pg.337 Q.16
You are creating a series of connections between two routing groups that have a fairly low bandwidth connection. You want the connections to be available all the time, but you would like for messages that are over 5MB to be sent only at specific times during the day. For which of the following connectors can you schedule the delivery of messages based on the size of the message?
a. RGC
b. X.400
c. SMTP
Given answer: SMTP.
Why? I checked config options for RGC and SMTP again and again, seems to me you can choose delivery times based on sizes for both connectors. So shouldnt it be a. and c.?? Or have I been studying too hard?? Or is it the number of posts on the left (666)?

I remember the book saying RGC is only for really high and reliable links whereas X.500 is for crappy links and SMTP was in the middle. So it makes sense to choose SMTP here due to the link not being a really fast reliable link but still want scheduling capabilities.“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F.
