That'll  stop  the  mail  from getting to a mailbox, but the mail will
still  be  spooled  and will also force a useless bounce message to be
created. Not very resource-wise.

On  the  other  hand,  if  you *must* have the 'nobody' alias for some
reason,  creating  the  accounts  and  NULifying all messages using an
IMail  rule  will  at least eliminate the disk I/O for bounces. Again,
this is assuming that *everything* going to those accounts is spam, so
any post-acceptance bounces would be unnecessary.

Nothing  beats  a  5xx,  however...why  do  you  have 'nobody' active,
exactly?
