It that what you really want?
A spammer who sends mail to made up E-mail addresses isn't really a spammer (at the
time), they are an E-mail address harvester. They are guessing E-mail addresses at
your domain. If you take out the "nobody" alias, then they will be able to tell which
are valid E-mail addresses at your domain.

What do you mean by "still getting through"?
Is it still going to the account that you have set up as the nobody alias? Or is it
being delivered to non-existant accounts? Or is it being bounced/rejected?
Although you shouldn't have to, you might want to stop/restart the SMTP service, and
check again in the IMail Administrator to make sure that the "nobody" alias was really
deleted.
