Jon, You definitely don't need to compile anything, at least on Debian -- and I'd assume the same for Ubuntu. On Debian, you apt-get install sasl2-bin (for saslauthd), make sure /etc/default/saslauthd has mechanism="pam" in it, and monkey with /etc/mail/sasl/sasl.m4. You also need to make sure that something like include(`/etc/mail/sasl/sasl.m4')dnl is included in sendmail.mc, and rebuild the config (make, sendmailconfig, whatever). It's been a while, and there could be something I'm missing -- but 100%, you do not need to recompile. At least the above should help you narrow down your Google search..
