No. Receiving is decoupled from delivering. The only available
feedback from a Postfix delivery agent to a Postfix SMTP server is
through sender or recipient address verification.
This does not use any message content from the remote SMTP client.
Instead, it generates a new test message, sends the test message
envelope content, and discards the test message content.
