The spamd options are located in two places - in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin and in the main script,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd (or whatever you called it).  Long option names
are preceded by two dashes.  Somewhere you have

  -max-conn-per-child=50

where you should have

  --max-conn-per-child=50

Look over "man spamd" and check your options against that.

Cheers,
