No. There is an existing -odi option, but it applies only to messages
received from the command line, where the ending of the process is the
event that carries success/fail back to the caller. For messages from
other hosts, the success/fail signal is sent at the end of receiving the
message, before any delivery takes place. So it's an entirely different
situation.
