How Do I make changes to spamd startup?

Hola,

when I do an

ps axu | grep spamd I receive the following line:

root 11859 0.0 1.7 27088 25004 ? Ss 00:20 0:00 /usr/sbin/spamd --username=popuser --daemonize --nouser-config --helper-home-dir=/var/qmail --max-children 1 --create-prefs --virtual-config-dir=/var/qmail/mailnames/%d/%l/.spamassassin --pidfile=/var/run/spamd/spamd_full.pid --socketpath=/tmp/spamd_full.sock


All efforts to change SPAMD_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/spamd has had no effect.

Any suggestions?

Saludo,

franco
 
Those parameters shouldn't be changed since without them SpamAssassin won't work with Plesk and QMail. The only thing that you are able to tune is a '--max-children' parameter through 'Server' -> 'SpamAssassin' screen.
 
mine is set at 5
i have to leave spamassassin off or my queue will get backed up
is there a way to increase the --max-children setting?
