Incoming mail size restrictions on Exchange 2010, SBS 2011

I have a client who wants to be able to receive messages up to 20MB in size.  They are running Exchange 2010 on an SBS 2011 box.  I have checked every setting I can find to alter the incoming mail size limits, but the server still rejects messages that are larger than 10 MB.  Below are the steps I have already taken.  What am I missing?

Set-TaransportConfig -MaxSendSize 20MB -MaxReceiveSize 20MB
Set-ReceiveConnector "All Receive Connectors" -MaxMessageSize 20MB
Set-SendConnector "All Send Connectors" -MaxMessageSize 20MB
Set-Mailbox "All Mailboxes" MaxSendSize 20MB -MaxReceiveSize 20MB

I also seem to remember changing an EMS item dealing directly with attachment size limits as well, but I can't seem to find the exact command I ran.  Below is the NDR message that I get when trying to send an email of 15MB.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.

This is a Mail server at mail.server.net

Thank you, Amon.  All of the settings suggested by these articles I have already updated, but still cannot receive mail over 10 MB.  I will attempt to set all of these settings to 30MB and test again; will let you know as soon as I do if that worked.

Dan, yes there is a smart host, but they are set to allow messages larger than 20MB through by default.
Thank you, Amon!  I set the limits to 30MB, reset the Exchange Transport service, and sent a 17 meg file that went through fine.

Have a fantastic week!
