Mail return

The error that the other server returned was:
552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size

It means the message sent was bigger than the size the recipient's server will allow. Was there an attachment or anything on the message in question? Or does this happen all the time?

It is most likely something wrong with the recipient's server. Not much you can do.
As it has been stated already it is exactly what its say, Message Size to large. The Transport settings on the recipients mail server has a restriction on the size limit. Try compressing the attachment using WinZip or WinRaR. If that does not work see if they have an FTP site where you can upload the attachments to.

Sorry problem state may not clear.

I am take care for mail server (Exchange 2010) of recipient and  I've setting related Exchange configuration to allow size to 20 MB. of receiving, but the error exceed size still occurred even that mail size only 10MB. (less than limit)

Any configuration that I may miss in Exchange server?
There is the setting for the individual's mailbox as well as the global setting.

I have also had problem with the antivirus putting on a size limit because it needed to unzip an attachment in order to scan it.
When you are working with message size limts depending on the path that the mail message takes it will only allow the smallest Size mail attachments.

May I ask in the other way, it I want to receive mail with 10MB attachment, where I have to configure in Exchange 2010 server?
In the Exchange Management Console, open Organization Configuration and Hub Transport. Then go to the Global Settings tab and then double click on Transport Settings. You'll see the message size limits there.
