You can recompile sendmail, you'll have to have the kernel sources 
installed though:

# cd /usr/src/lib/libsm; make clean; make obj; make depend; make
# cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil; make clean; make obj; make depend; make
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail; make clean; make obj; make depend; make; make install

you might want to read Jonathan Horne's page about configuring sendmail ( among other services ) :
