First, the is usually (also) the job of the "main process" if the actual
work is done by worker processes (or threads).
Second, and then the OP has to specify that correctly.
spamd-3.3.1 hereover has a "--max-conn-per-child=num" option (default
value can be found in the manual page) but it depends on the number of
workers and the number of mails how long they usually run.
And all that is only known to the OP ...
