Authen::NTLM provides methods to use NTLM authentication. It can be used as an authenticate method with the Mail::IMAPClient module to perform the challenge/response mechanism for NTLM connections or it can be used on its own for NTLM authentication with other protocols (eg. HTTP).

The implementation is a direct port of the code from fetchmail which, itself, has based its NTLM implementation on samba.
