Doesn't sound mysterious to me. If info@ is *only* an alias and does
*not* have its own mailbox, then each user that is included in the alias
list should receive a copy of the email in their own Inbox.

In other words, aliases are not user accounts (local or virtual) and
don't have mail delivered, so there is nothing to retrieve from 'info's
Maildir'...

Courier can be installed as either just a standalone POP/IMAP server, or
as a complete solutions (it has an MTA component as well).

It sounds to me like you are confused on the MTA side, and you somehow
confirgured Courier to deliver mail to BOTH an info@ user account *and*
*also* alias it to other users.
