A worrying development
Never seen this forged in a spam before today:
X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0.8 June 18, 2001
How do I know it's forged?
- No accompanying X-MIMETrack (OK, that could have been stripped out by the sending Domino MTA but...)
- Sent with SMTP, not ESMTP.
- From an ADSL connection in Mauritius.
- No Domino server listening there.
- Advertising nude celebs.
OK, not absolute proof that Notes was not the culprit, but I am fairly sure it was forged.

Do you know what the Notes *CLIENT* headers look like when sending SMTP directly?
I might have a copy of a 5.x client around here I can test with.

Yes. So far as I recall they look like that one there. But I still would take some convincing that it really was Notes and not some dedicated spamware programmed to mimic Notes.
