resubmit mail or just delete

After a long outage due to weather, a restart found spamd not running (timed out on startup, a story for later),
and a lot of spam got through. 

Now that it is running, should I re-submit these dozens or hundreds of emails to allow them to be properly
classified, drop them in "missed SPAM" or just delete them and call it good?

If they are more than a month or so old, just drop them would probably be 
appropriate. Spam changes with time, and learning old spam patterns may not 
do you much good.

If you aren't running Bayes, just dump all of them.

If you are running Bayes, it might be worth running the lst month or so thru 
SA-Learn as spam, as long as you are sure thay are all spam.

Just my opinion.
