try something like the following before you run mhmail:

rmm `pick -from person`

for each person you wish to have mail killed from.  this assumes you are
running unix with a shell that allows back-quoting. alternatively, you coud
do the following:

pick -from person -sequence foo
rmm foo

to accomplish the same thing.  check out the man page on pick.
