Hi Steffen,
Please see the dovecot -n output attached
I have two files , users and passwd
cat /etc/dovecot/users info@ghhdomain.com:501:501:/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/:/bin/false:
[sysopminds@ns ~]$ cat /etc/dovecot/passwd info@ghhdomain.com: {CRAM-MD5}e02d374fde0dc75a17a557039a3a5338c7743304777dccd376f332bee68d2cf6:503:503

Please see my configs
don't grab selected output from the conf files, use doveconf -n
users file look like this info@ghhdomain.com: {CRAM-MD5}e02d374fde0dc75a17a557039a3a5338c7743304777dccd376f332bee68d 2cf6:503:503
Do you have a line with "/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/" in /etc/dovecot/users ? Post that line and, say, three lines before and three after it.
