Very interesting. In my tests, the second line (listening socket) is the result of Amavis' DKIM verifier, while the first line is
spawned by SpamAssassin. The listening socket is used only until SpamAssassin has been loaded by the first mail which does not
bypass spam checks, because SpamAssassin overrides the `persistent_udp` option initially set to `1` by Amavis.

There is no Amavis confvar for the `persistent_udp` option. You would have to modify the executable.
