This doesn't look like a Lotus Mailserver.

I'd say that is a completely screwed up smtp server or maybe a firewall.

Tried a few things with our Lotus Domino Servers and they all work fine
even with VERPish sender addresses
Don't care too much, ezmlm will happily remove the users after some time :-)
I usually simply ignore these errors, because I am really tired to try
to work around the 1000th broken mailserver out there written by ppl or a
company or maintained by someone who doesn't have a clue.
They don't pay someone who knows what he's doing, so why should I invest
time (and thus my company's money) just to get mail through their
broken system.
I'd also do myself a favour and save some bits of bandwidth and cpu cycles
and block those hosts/addresses (tcpcontrol and/or badmailfrom).
