Very bad idea. If you really want to migrate settings from a SuSE
install then take the sendmail.mc settings and rebuild the sendmail.cf
from those settings on your CentOS host. And be sure you understand what
settings you activate.

It is normal that Sendmail on CentOS runs out of the box. It is too
"normal" that hoststat isn't configured by default within sendmail.mc.
But there is no problem to activate this yourself.
You need to understand how MailScanner mangles the Sendmail setup as it
splits the queue and runs own queue runner from its own.

Just copying over SuSE Sendmail setup will not work.
