I'm working on getting authentication for Postfix smtpd clients working with Dovecot. I've got both plain text and GSSAPI mechanisms working. Winbind also works for shell access and the command line test work fine.

If I can get NTLM authentication working I can use Postfix as a drop in replacement for a MS MTA I want get rid of.

I'm hoping the community might be able to offer some insight into what I'm missing to get NTLM authentication working with Dovecot and Postfix. Something related to winbind I suspect.

When I use the NTLM mechanism I get this in my maillog file. Nothing seems to show up in the winbind files for this.
