As Wietse replied, NO. But, if your goal is to inspect and be able to
reject the message, then perhaps what you're looking for is either
an smtpd_proxy_filter or milter:
http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html
http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html
If either of these objects, then the sender will see a 5XX response, if
they don't reject the message, delivery proceeds normally, and you'd
ultimately hand off the message for mailbox storage to a delivery agent
that is less picky about its content.
