The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit with exchange 2007

I'm really new with exchange 2007. And I face the same problem on this link:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22813791/Exchange-2007-Attachment-Size-Limit-Question.html

But before I begin with solution I did the following command:
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>get-receiveconnector | set-recieveconnector -maxmessage
size 20MB

And it gives me the following error:

[PS] C:\Windows\System32>get-receiveconnector | set-recieveconnector -maxmessage
size 20MB
The term 'set-recieveconnector' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operab
le program, or script file. Verify the term and try again.
At line:1 char:44
+ get-receiveconnector | set-recieveconnector  <<<< -maxmessagesize 20MB

My question is: how can I fix this problem and change the send and receive mail size. In other way, I want to send E-Mail and receive it with 20MB as an attachment?

This is the error when I try to attach file more than 10MB.
What I'm asking for is how to open the limit on Exchange 2007?

It is possible to apply the size limit on different levels in exchange 2007, refer the article for details.

Your command
get-receiveconnector | set-recieveconnector -maxmessagesize 20MB

Correct command
get-receiveconnector | set-receiveconnector -maxmessagesize 20MB

There was a spelling mistake in your command
I did not get you in the first time because you went clear.
