Actually it's a bad idea to use root for ssh from a security point 
of view. A hacked root account isn't fun. Thus, normally one needs 
to explicitly change the config of the sshd daemon to allow root 
logins (at least with FreeBSD what I'm using). Thus, I do recommend 
to use an unprivileged user like vmail.

root doesn't not find doveadm at the remote server. As mentioned above
you better create an account for vmail and allow that user to find
doveadm in its path.

That's an error due to not finding doveadm at the remote site.
