First, there can be no TO address before the client sends MAIL FROM.
Second, the size check is done before checking the sender address,
presumably because it is more efficient that way. But I guess some
code could be swapped around.
However, Postfix logging is intended for system adminstrators, not
users. Asking to make it suitable for users is really outside the
scope of this project. Users can enter the wrong information in the
wrong place, and other users should not be exposed to that.
