My largest domain, and the domain I see the most bogus e-mails being sent to I do not have a nobody alias.
What should happen when the nobody alias is removed? If there is a nobody alias, I would assume after the allotted amount of tries the e-mail would then be sent to nobody. Without a nobody account the que still attempts delivery for the number of tries specified and then sends a delivery failure notice to the sender.
