No, because that is done by GMail 'pulling' messages over IMAP or POP.

Examination of the error messages should reveal the specific character 
of the failure. For example, the "From" address on an error message will 
have a domain name which tells you where the message was when the 
failure occurred. If the error message uses the standard for such 
things, the body will include both specifics of the failed transaction 
and an encapsulated copy of the original in message/rfc822 format which 
includes headers that can be used to trace how the message has traveled.
