How would you land up getting the mail size?

Oct 28 16:33:04 localhost policyd:
policy_array[6][0]:request=smtpd_access_policy
Oct 28 16:33:04 localhost policyd: policy_array[6][1]:protocol_state=RCPT
Oct 28 16:33:04 localhost policyd: policy_array[6][2]:protocol_name=SMTP

policy_array[6][3]:client_address=127.0.0.1

The mua/mail client does not have to send the size..
