I don't think so, because that's not SMTP.
Can you try to direct the backup software vendor to RFC 2821 (or even
821)?
As a semi-non-solution, you could write your own SMTP proxy that
simply looks for that pattern and strips off the bogus junk but
otherwise just passes everything from the input socket to a socket
connected to exim (and vice versa). (or, if you really want to,
modify your copy of exim to strip off that bogus junk)

I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave
has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
