This probably happens because you have "HOME=/root" environment set
while running deliver. v1.1's deliver clears the whole environment so
this isn't a problem, but for now either unset it yourself, or add
"home=/" (or something) to plugin {}.

Anyway this error message isn't fatal.

So the messages stop here? There should have been something more..

67 means "unknown user". I think this is different from the previous
error. You could set auth_verbose=yes to make Dovecot log the user.
