Servers EnterpriseThe correct format of the command is
sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix:message_size_limit = number
as discussed in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5627
However you need to do this command on the mail server and not on a Mac client.
Note: server admin is not valid it must be serveradmin

Servers EnterpriseYou would open Terminal on the mail server and type in the command with the number you require. What I was saying is that you do not type it on a normal users Mac, it has to be the mail server.

I am also trying to do this, but don't understand where to open the terminal. Would you be able to direct me in the right place?
Thank you!

Servers EnterpriseTerminal is in the Utilities folder which is in the Applications folder in your hard disk. The hard disk is typically called Macintosh HD.
If your in the Finder you can go straight to the Utilities folder by using the "Go to" menu and selecting Utiltiies.

Servers EnterpriseThe message appears to be implying that the Mac you are trying this on does not have the server software installed on it.
This might make sense since you also seem to be running Terminal on a MacBook Air which would not normally be used as a server. You need to do serveradmin commands on the server itself.
