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...
Isn't this exactly what PAM is for?
The problem is, despite some apparent initial hopes of the authors, PAM is effectively plaintext only these days, and what this is about is challenge-response NTLMSSP.
Projects like Cyrus-SASL are filling that gap a little, and I have a patch I've submitted to them, for the same thing.
