To set a global value, run the following from the Exchange Shell.

Set-transportconfig -maxsendsize 50mb -maxreceivesize 20mb

Tweak the values the way you want.

Hi Rawa,

You can use EAC or EMS to set the MaxSendSize. The default value of MaxSendSize is 10 MB.

If you use EAC, here is the steps:

Logon to EAC -> Mail flow -> Receive connectors -> settings-> type the Maximum send message size you want to set

If you use EMS, please use the cmdlet Rajith provided.

Hope it helps.
