Meni,

  I'm not all that familiar with Debian, but I suspect that just 
installing the sendmail_configure or sendmail_source packages will allow 
you to compile MIMEDefang.

It's telling you it can't find a header file needed to compile (as a 
milter).  You shouldn't need to re-compile sendmail, just insall the 
packages.

hope this helps,
