The reference article is correct but the answer should be AD rather than CE. Since the solution should ensure that messages are accepted regardless of their size, it can only be achieved via AD as it bypasses the size check while CE does not.

The solution must satisfy all explicite requirements. One of them is : Message size bypassing. - "Configure the connections as anonymous" does not meet the need : "Messages don't bypass antispam or message size limit checks" - "Configure the connections as externally secured" allows messages to bypass size limit check. This solution is less restrictive but this criteria is not explicitly required. Therefore, the correct answer should be : AD

The question asks which you would do NEXT though.... So CE and then AD? Or would you do AD first and then CE?

I agree with Alex. C&E is incorrect answer. as per article, if we choose C&E, Messages don't bypass message size limit checks. But if we select AD, as per article, Messages bypass message size limit checks
