I mean an SMTP server, e.g. sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, Exchange.

Not yet, it is a feature request:

Again, it would only work if the client is still connected to the server 
at that point, i.e. not if a connection error occurs. A log full of 
messages saying "I'm still OK" is probably not what you're looking for :)
