Need help configuring my Cisco ASA Firewall to extend MSS limit for outbound traffic

I have a Cisco ASA 5510 firewall and my company uses a third party POP3 providor for email.
I have just installed a Konica Multi-purpose copier that can scan a document and email it. However, when I do this, my firewall stops it with the message:
Dropping TCP packet from inside:10.203.15.202/1025 to outside:204.107.103.101/25, reason: MSS exceeded, MSS 1380, data 1460

I have seen how I can configure MSS to exceed for traffic coming in, but how can I configure it for traffic going out

This works. Thanks very much

No luck I am afraid.

I applied the configuration without error but one command did not show up in the show run as if it was already the default.
"exceed-mss allow"

So it looks like it applied a empty policy to the external interface. I tried a couple of times but the tcp-map tcp-mss-map comes up blank.

I am still see these sorts of errors in the logs.
