An experiment would have given you the answer, which is "no".

I can wishlist this, but there is a technical problem in that the field
that is used to return the delivery time by the transport is the same
field that is used for an error code in failing cases. I am loath to
expand the per-address data structure because it is already quite large,
and this matters when you have 1000 addresses in a message (something
that does happen).
