   filter_sender cannot possibly know how big the message will be.  For
one thing, the message has not started being delivered at this point yet.
And even if the sender uses ESMTP and puts the SIZE= parameter on the RCPT
command, it has not been received yet when filter_sender gets called.
Your same code should work in filter_begin (although you will have to use
$Sender rather than $sender).

   David, would it be possible (or feasible) to make the ESMTP SIZE
parameter available in filter_recipient?
