Forward Error: Max Size exceeded

Question / Problem

For some emails, I receive a message from the exchange server saying "maximum message size exceeded". What can I do?

Answer / Solution

This notification is typical for Exchange Server 2007/2010 because they both have a standard option limiting email sizes to 10MB. These can be modified by changing the limitations of the Receive Connector. This occurs over the Powershell: Help article at Microsoft  (Set-ReceiveConnector  --->  MaxMessageSize)
