You can delete them; the system shouldn't be sending email to them.  If
it were my box I'd look at them before deleting them; I'd want to know
why they were getting email sent to them.

Or you can do as Oleg suggests, and shorten them with the 'echo'
command.

Shouldn't be happening <frown>.  What model Cobalt system do you have?
