IMO, Lotus produces the least compliant mailers out there (cc:Mail, and
Notes). If you want REALLY ugly, check a Lotus bounce sometime -- the damn
thing doesn't include the ACTUAL address to which the message was
attempted, but instead (if you're 'lucky'), has the INTERNAL mailer address
(often without even identifying the original mailed-to domain, if the
organization has multiple domain names - i.e. the postmaster address may
not be the same domain you mailed to). Dealing with Lotus bounces as a
listadmin can be rather aggravating.
Besides being lousy on the compliance side, they're also miserable clients,
and the source of many autoreplies to lists, because the autoreply rule
generation facilities don't have any basic "don't reply to listmail" type
options (considering they market to corporate IS, one would think that this
would be an obvious feature to implement).
Having said all that, I'd have to say that the crummy receipt replies are
probably SOP for Lotus.

Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies. I'll get my copy from the list.
