You want to use the envelope sender in a whitelist. This list gets
mail from
amavis-user-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net
or
amavis-user-admin@lists.sourceforge.net

You will notice that the @score_sender_maps setting already has
examples of a number of mailing lists. You could add more there and
adjust the scores downward to suit your needs.

I see this in the header of this message:
Sender: amavis-user-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net
