As I said before, there's little support resource around for Exim 3. It
may be a known bug (although I couldn't find a reference to it with a
brief Google search), but whether it is or not, it won't get fixed for
Exim 3.

They could change the SMTP banner with which their server announces its
ESMTP support (smtp_banner) - if it doesn't say 'ESMTP' then your domino
server shouldn't EHLO and shouldn't use the SIZE extension. The docs say
it's an expanded string, so they could perhaps do it just for connections
from your server ... something like

smtp_banner = ${if eq {$sender_host_address} {your_ip} {Exim SMTP blah}
{Exim ESMTP blah}}

Very untested.... haven't got an Exim 3 system to test it on....
