Sure. You may *wish* to do something about it, but it's not required.
While those 10,000 spam messages are sitting in your queue (on
average, 434 per directory; a reasonable size for a directory on ufs
or e2fs), new emails will continue to be received and sent. Visualize
sendmail with a 10,000 message queue. Or rather, don't, unless you
wish to spoil an otherwise beautiful Sunday night / Monday morning.
