You could patch qmail to do this, but it's a bad idea.  See further info
below.

The relevant RFC is RFC2821 -- but it specifically forbids treating a bare LF
as a line separator.  The requirement is indeed CR+LF.  I've never seen anyone
quote anything claiming "CR is a LF" and am not sure what you mean by it.

To fix this for broken clients, you can use fixcrio, or djb's @fixme/fixup
solution which feeds to new-inject or qmail-inject to rewrite the message.
See djb's FAQs and many discussions in the list archives for details.

But of course the best solution is fix the broken clients.
