Perhaps we have different aims - but I had hoped that there was some interest in the corporate mail server space, where proper domain integration is critical, and single-sign on (which is what NTLMSSP provides) is expected.
I, for one, wouldn't mind moving towards single-signon (we are a corporate environment). I hate multiple user databases, and in fact replicate our vpopmail database (which is what Dovecot uses for authentication) out of the internal Netware servers, but it means that e-mail has a different password than the Netware login. I may try to use the eDirectory/PAM support in SuSE Enterprise 9, but I already have to support NTLM in some form internally.
This is a long winded way of saying that I would be interested in seeing the Dovecot code offer more ways of tying into backend authentication sources and I know from personal experience that Samba is an important part of such an effort...
