This is good known bug which is not related to AS/400 at all.
This causes to die only Lotus Domino 4.6.1.
I've tried to kill our Lotus Domino 4.6.4 and it still alive ~80)

As for SMTP and Lotus Notes/Domino this is a big problem for it's users
because there no any anti-spam protection like in Sendmail.
Now we are playing with 5th Lotus Domino and there are all this bugs fixed
and anti-spam implemented ~80)
