Thanks Alexander. This is exactly what I want to do. I am running 
Sendmail 8.13.1 and have used SASL on the same system as the PAM 
database. For some reason I put in my head I had to duplicate that 
database to authenticate locally. I realize now that I was asking the 
wrong questions when I did my Google searches. This solution should have 
been obivous ... too many late nights I guess.
