Are you using Apple's version of Postfix, or the one from www.postfix.org?
In case of the former, ask Apple. Postfix from www.postfix.org
writes text in UNIX native format.
HOWEVER, if an application feeds CRLF text into the Postfix
sendmail command AND THE MAIL IS DELIVERED WITHOUT GOING ACROSS
THE NETWORK, then it may be stored as it was received by Postfix,
with CRLF lines.
