You can find the source for version 8.6.9 at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/distributions/slackware/2.1/source/n/sendmail/

For some reason the sendmail.org site has no pointer to any version control 
based repository of Sendmail otherwise you could have gotten it from there.

It didn't take long to find with Google (less than 15 minutes). I just 
thought about how Linux distros have source code available for the packages 
they use. I though of Slackware as the second version of Linux I ever used. 
The last one I used was Slackware 96. After that it was easy.

You can use the 8.6 patches at sendmail.org to upgrade or downgrade the 
8.6.9 to make whichever version of 8.6 you need.
