I don't much know of NTLM, but.. > But I couldn't get into Dovecot (with or without auth_use_winbind option): > . login wAlex pass > . NO [ALERT] Unsupported authentication mechanism. .. > auth_mechanisms = ntlm This error happens because you enabled NTLM mechanism, but disabled PLAIN mechanism (LOGIN command uses PLAIN mechanism). If you want both to work, use: auth_mechanisms = plain ntlm And note that winbind authentication only works for NTLM mechanism, not for anything else. Maybe you need to figure out some other passdb to use like LDAP or maybe some PAM plugin?..
