I'm not sure if this is theoretically possible. The whole process is event
driven. The Demon server polls all attached mail servers periodically when
it has mail to deliver.

Likewise, news is also a polling process in both directions.

Unlike something like CIX, or CI$ where it is easy to know when all mail
and news has been picked up.

I've written OLR's for all three in the past and CIX is the simplest and
fastest to process with.
