Not very easily. You would have to code some sort of FIFO buffer, and you would have to account for the possibility that if you had too many posts, it couldn't save a backlog longer than x days. And it would have to account for slow days - if a new post came in more than 10 minutes from the last, it would have to go out immediately and start the 10 minute counter fresh.
