How to create and exception for a bot

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if '!' in message.content:   
        return
    if message.content.startswith(muti):
        await asyncio.sleep(3)
        await message.delete()
    else:
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send(muti)
    if message.author.bot:
        return

I am trying to create an exception where my bot will not delete another bot's message, but I don't know how to do it. I tried to use if message.author.(the other bot's id variable) but then I don't know how to set that variable up. The message.author.bot is for my bot to ignore its own messages.

Using member.bot which returns if the member is a bot documentation.

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return
    if '!' in message.content:   
        return
    if message.content.startswith(muti):
        await asyncio.sleep(3)
        await message.delete()
    else:
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send(muti)
    if message.author.bot:
        return

This will not execute any of the code below if the message was sent by a bot.
