How to "Windows Authenticate"

Rick,

I extremely dislike Exchange as well.  I have a long list of problems: near
impossibility to monitor logs for trouble, poor configurable spam checking, no
good way to archive and review emails ...  I could go on for paragraphs, but the
main reason we recently migrated away from SBS/Exchange is that Microsoft no
longer sells Small Business Server and its replacement, Server Essentials, does
not support Exchange! Exchange has to run on Server 2012, but MS would prefer
you to use Server Essentials with your email in the cloud.  We're not gonna do
that. 

Samba4 AD/DC and Dovecot work perfectly for everything including access from
SmartPhones.  I've got roaming domain logins, redirected folders, calendars and
contacts work just fine with Outlook and WebDav for sharing calendars; don't
need them in Dovecot.  For the most part, Outlook users can't tell they are not
still on Exchange ...  except they have to maintain their Outlook password
distinct from their Windows password.  Which is their one HUGE issue. 

My absolutely LAST issue with totally duplicating SBS/Exchange functionality on
Samba4/Dovecot is getting Dovecot to authenticate with Outlook clients using
Windows Authentication which, as I understand things, can supposedly be done
with NTLM.  I just can't get it to work.  I think a heck of a lot if Windows
[SB]Server shops would convert to Samba4/Dovecot if someone figured out how to
do this. 

My Dovecot log messages make it look close to working:

Sep 05 16:45:19 auth-worker(5498): Debug: shadow(mark at hprs,192.168.0.58): lookup
Sep 05 16:45:19 auth-worker(5498): Info: shadow(mark at hprs,192.168.0.58): unknown user

Dovecot gets the user as" mark at hprs" instead of "mark" and therefore can't find
it in the userdb. 

I can find no Dovecot wiki on this. If Dovecot just can't authenticate this way
can someone (Timo?) tell me so and I'll cease my 8 month quest.

Otherwise, what should I have for a userdb? What should I have for a passdb? Can
I parse the "@hprs" bit off the userId received by Dovecot? These seem to be my
hang-ups.  At this point, I'm open to guesses. 

Just for the heck of it, here's one of the doveconf's I tested with, reproduced
here because it's burried in the messages below:

# 2.2.15: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.10.17 x86_64 Slackware 14.1
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain ntlm login
auth_use_winbind = yes
auth_verbose = yes
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
disable_plaintext_auth = no
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot_info
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb {
  driver = shadow
}
protocols = imap
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/OHPRS/GoDaddy/Apache/c5fe0cc8242d6030.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/OHPRS/GoDaddy/mail.ohprs.org.key
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
verbose_ssl = yes

And wbinfo (requested by you in an earlier message) showing some of the Domain
users (I'm testing with mark):

$ wbinfo -u
Administrator
Guest
krbtgt
dns-mail
mark
sogo
(more)

If not there, where?

Humor me. Give me ONE suggestion to try!
