Assuming by "message" you mean "AMQP command" (since publishing of 
actual messages is always async in AMQP) then no, that is not possible.

Some client libraries might provide timeouts for synchronous commands 
but the spec forbids clients from pipelining synchronous commands on the 
same channel, so clients would not be able to send a subsequent 
synchronous command until a response to the prior command has been received.
