$warnbadhsender controls if the sender of an email should be notified
when the header contains invalid characters and the mail is passed to the
recipient.
If you would like to pass messages (spam,virus,bad header) to
recipients you should use $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS (for bad
header) or @bad_header_lovers_maps.
With $final_bad_header_destiny you can define if amavisd should reject
the message, let the message pass through or else.

It seems that this is dovecot related because the lda couldn't find
the user (relay=dovecot). Have you modified local_transport or
virtual_transport in main.cf? Maybe the lda looks in the wrong alias
database?

You could try to disable this check with
$allowed_header_tests{'multiple'} = 0;
At the moment I've no idea where this duplicate entry come from...
This happens only when when the mail gets bounced (status=SOFTBOUNCE)?
