Maye sure that you have
SBMGB.CO.UK  in the email box in the gui for that site
else only blah@xxxxxxxxxx  will work
also make sure that you have sales alais set for the user or you have a
catch all eg @www.SBMGB.CO.UK  on a user
restart sendmail /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

adding SBMGB.CO.UK in the gui should add that to the sendmail relay
allowed file

This dns error should not stop named running
it will be cause that named runs as named and the /etc/named
is maybe olnly own by root

have a look at
/etc/named see who owns it eg named or root
also ps awxu | grep named is it owned by named ?

what I did on one server was chown /etc/named to named.named
and than make a directory /etc/named/run
then in etc/named.conf edited the options to

options { directory "/etc/named"; pid-file "/etc/named/run/named.pid" blah

Howver this was before sun had fixed named to run as the right user
