Enabling Nobody = Shootng Self in Foot.
If you do that, you will get ALL MAIL, whether you have the user or not. This has proven to be a large pain in the arse and will cause heavy server strain when a spammer decided to send you a message with a script sending like Jsmith, JohnSmith, JohnS, Sales, Info, WebMaster, Whoever I want.....lots of wasted bandwidth.
