Problems with e-mail containing non utf-8 characters

I am getting stuck with e-mail mostly coming from outside the US, mostly Europe (mailing lists)

I am getting this message when I query the mailq in postfix

(host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=04163-02 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, from 
MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10026): No resp. to data-dot (in reply to end of DATA command)
first.last AT btspuhler DOT com
This is when the e-mail should get re-injected from amavis into postfix
Googeling for this leads to amavis not recognizing some non ascii characters.
In some listings it is said to be a Perl bug. But those are a few years old, incl older Perl 
versions.
I have:
perl-5.16.3
amavisd-new-2.8.0

Attached is one of those e-mails I pulled out of /var/spool/postfix/deferred/568B781CF9
