You're doing something "weird". There should be just one spamd:
root 23277 0.0 0.4 20324 4084 ? S Mar18 2:54 /usr/bin/spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid -a -c

spamc client connections are run and connect to spamd. There's a
number of ways to launch spamc, in my case, qmail-scanner-queue.pl
feeds incoming messages to spamc. procmail is often used to do it as
well. As always man pages have the details.
