Looks like you need to re-read the "makeuserdb" man page:
mail - value specifies the location of the account´s Maildir
mailbox...
This should be a directory specification, not an email address. It is
normally not needed. If you want to deliver mail to $HOME/Maildir, then
you should not specify this value at all. Your userdb should look like
this:
info2 systempw=J8rkM5hKUZsq.|uid=1|gid=1|home=/tmp/info2
Whether you use "info2" or "in...@..." depends on your setup. If the
domain is in locals, then the domain will be stripped and Courier will
only look up "info2". If the domain is in hosteddomains, then the
entire email address will be looked up.
