clamsmtpd is complaining about too many connections.

I have it set to 6.
and master.cf looks like:

smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=scan:127.0.0.1:10020
scan unix - - n - 5 smtp
-o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
-o disable_mime_output_conversion=yes
-o smtp_generic_maps=

I thought the '5' in the scan setting would limit the number of processes access
clamsmtpd to .. 5. Leaving one spare for something.
I'll assume I am misreading the numbers.
Or my box is not suitable for the task.

This happens only under high loads, but it's annoying.

help?
Any suggestions on how to eliminate this error?
