"spammng" is not SpamAssassin.  Tell whatever is spawning this process
to limit the number of these it spawns concurrently.

I have no idea.  I don't know what "spammng" (I assume 'spam manage')
is.  If it's a start up script for spamd it really should only be run
once.  You only want one copy of spamd running.  Perhaps a message is
passed to this process and it should really be calling spamc?

--max-children *does* limit the number of concurrent *spamd* children.
It has nothing to do with "spammng" though.

I'd ask some Plesk folks about "spammng" and how to control it.
