from the spamd documentation:

"-m number, --max-children=number
    Specify a maximum number of children to spawn. Spamd will wait until
another child finishes before forking again. Meanwhile, incoming connections
will be queued.

    Please note that there is a OS specific maximum of connections that can
be queued (Try perl -MSocket -e'print SOMAXCONN' to find this maximum).
Also, this option causes spamd to create an extra pipe for each child."

1. use -m 10 instead of -m10 ;)
2. if you run 50 spamc's the first 10 connections will be served. The 40
others will be queued in this time till a spamc timeout occurs. If spamd has
finished one spamc request it will serve the next (of the 40 others).
