Sure hope so! And it is an easy one...

IF you want an SQL select instead of the less-resource hungry

require verify = recipient

Which can make sense if your routers are also doing SQL SELECTS and
potentially more of them, even for a verify pass, THEN try:

deny
  set acl_m19 = ${lookup pgsql{SELECT pg_active from mailprof \
                WHERE pg_active AND pg_domain='${quote_pgsql:$domain}'  \
                AND pg_local_part='${quote_pgsql:$local_part}'}}
     !condition  = ${if eq{$acl_m19}{t}}



In which:

- acl_m is legacy. there are now other ways to 'trigger' an SQL call

- mailprof(ile) is the relation.

- pg_active is a boolean flag for active account (or not)

- pg_domain and pg_local_part should be obvious

- we don't want the data - only to know it was matched.

- the 'pg_' fieldname prefix just helps me remember which part is a DB
field and which part is an Exim variable.

- You can change 'pgsql' to 'mysql' Or not.

This should work unaltered with MySQL save for your relation and field
names. So long as none of the 'special' features of either DBMS are
used within, neither Exim nor RDBMS otherwise care.

HTH,
