If the address doesn't exist, then the message will bounce before it gets to Declude. Unless of course you have nobody aliases, which is an extremely bad practice these days. In that case you should remove the nobody alias, and viola, problem solved.
If the attempts to deliver to nonexistent addresses still bog down the server, you should consider adding a gateway that checks for valid addresses, and only passes the email to valid addresses on to the main mail server.
