Get rid of the CNAMES. Just create A records. To share, just add the
other domain in the site settings under web server and email alias.
Under the web alias just add www.designwall.co.uk and designwall.co.uk
add designwall.co.uk as an email alias. If you want, create an MX record
of mail.designwall.co.uk and an A record for mail.designwall.co.uk.  You
shouldn't have to modify any other records.

You would set up @www.designwall.co.uk if you want a catchall and you
want to get lots of spam from dictionary attacks.

You shouldn't need to modify the hosts file.

Sendmail will restart if you add an alias in the site settings and click
save changes.

I have one domain with 5 or 6 email aliases in the site settings and all
works fine. Although the only difference is I use the same MX for all
the domains.
