sendmail is not an example implementation.

Qmail does not distinguish between delivery and transport, therefore
it can store the messages in a file which use newlines for a line
terminator. Thus, qmail cannot accept bare newlines, since such a
message cannot be reconstructed once it's been in a queue or mailbox
file.
