I bet that you could get it in 2 lines.
HELO mail
MAIL FROM: test@???
Because netcat (and apparently Lotus' server) is not waiting for the 250
from the server after HELO before sending MAIL FROM:. This is forgivable in
netcat, not so in the Lotus server. The proper way would be to get the Lotus
server to actually speak SMTP instead of doing the equivolant of shouting it.
Another way would be to turn off that checking in Exim if possible.
