It's most likely a limit on the server. Limits of 4MB are quite common
(and 1 or 2MB on some cheaper services).

The options are: 
1) to request (and possibly pay for) customized settings
from your ISP - you'll probably need to convince them that the large
messages will never reside there for more than an hour or two.
2) arrange with your correspondent to make such transfers by FTP, 
which is much more efficient anyway.
