> Can not having a "nobody" alias leave me vulnerable to anything?
Most mail servers do not have a "nobody" alias, so that mail will bounce properly.
The drawback to taking it away is that it would be possible for spammers to do a
"dictionary attack" testing lots of potential E-mail addresses at your server to see
if they are valid. That eats up your resources (bandwith + log files). It doesn't
happen often unless you are specifically targeted by the spammer.
