One option is to not perform this particular test (invalid non-encoded
8-bit characters) on headers (for all senders):

Also look at some of the examples in amavisd.conf-sample, search for
%final_destiny_by_ccat

Another option would be to create a policy bank designed to bypass
header checks for a particular client(s) or sender(s). If you are
using Postfix take a look at exampes 5,6,7 here:
