Just curious, is there a reason you're running 3.2.0?  It's completely not
meant for production use yet.

Since you limited spamd to 4 children, if say, 6 messages come in that need to
be scanned, 2 will be left sitting around waiting for a child to free up.  If
it takes long enough that spamc or whatever calling spamc times out, the
message will (likely) continue through unprocessed.
