Yes it's possible. You would write it as an external authent module, see
the definition of these
in the dmail manual
http://netwinsite.com/dmail
But in brief you write a command line utility that responds something like
this:
c:> dbauth.exe
check username password
+OK username config 0 groups="staff"
check username password
+OK username config 0 groups="adults,secret"
And in access.conf you add rules for those 'usergroups' e.g.
*:read,post:,groups=adults::*sex*,*erotic*
There may be an authent module on the dmail page for the database you want
to use so try that.
first.
