Spamassassin 3.0.2 child processes

Hi List.

Is there a way to limit spamd child processes?

# ps -ef | grep spam

root       602     1  0 13:28 ?        00:00:12 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m5
-H
xadmin     649   602  0 13:29 ?        00:00:09 spamd child
xadmin     650   602  0 13:29 ?        00:00:07 spamd child
xadmin     651   602  0 13:29 ?        00:00:13 spamd child
root       652   602  0 13:29 ?        00:00:10 spamd child
root       653   602  0 13:29 ?        00:00:08 spamd child
xadmin     797   792  0 13:52 ?        00:00:00 spamc -s 57344 -d
127.0.0.1 -p 7
xadmin     798   796  0 13:53 ?        00:00:00 spamc -s 57344 -d
127.0.0.1 -p 7
xadmin     808   801  0 13:54 ?        00:00:00 spamc -s 57344 -d
127.0.0.1 -p 7

Yes, with the -m parameter you are already using.  You've got -m5, spamd 
has 5 children.. set it to -m2 and you'll get 2.
