I can't help you with your config, but I would *strongly* recommend
that you just make all your users virtual ones, and all using the same
backend.  Now you don't say if your local user account works or not,
but I'd work on getting just the AD part (really, you're using
windind?) first.

Also, have you compared your postfix and dovecot setups?  There are
good docs out there on how you combine them to use the same
authentication backend.


And the info you posted really don't help much, since you don't post
any log messages from when the authentication fails.  That will tell
you more I'm sure.
