It'll be  the spamassassin master process and default of two children.

By the look of it the rc.d script couldn't find a spamassassin perl
process that matched the PID in the pid file so couldn't shut the old
version down before starting the new. This is commonly because the pid
file isn't writeable, but using port 783 implies that it started as
root.

Check that the current pid file contains a correct value.
