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.
