Yes.
Although, sending mail only on a successfully completed transaction is 
more important.

You could do this using a system similar to the z3checkins product, and 
have Zope parse bounce messages for an id that would link the bounce 
message back to the application event that caused the original message 
to be sent.

This could be written and generalised as a MailBounce Service.
