I don't think so:-)

TMDA is just re-using the existing authentication mechanism. So, if your
users are logging in to SMTP/POP/IMAP/..., then they already have a
virtual user setup - TMDA is just authenticating against the same
virtual user DB.

Well, I suppose you could configure TMDA to point at a completely
separate auth DB, but I'm not really sure why you'd do that.

Can you elaborate a little on what you're trying to achieve?
