I want to limit this to ~5.
I suspect if spamc invokes spamd but spamd reached its max-children then spamc will act as if spamd timed out, or report ham. So, I think your fix will be to limit the max incoming concurrency on postfix, since that is really your problem. (can't help with details as I don't run postfix.) With a lower incoming concurrency, mail will stay queued on remote servers until they try again any your local box is not too busy.
