Nice subject line, Chris! It was an eye-catcher for me. I've can see a similar issue in some rare cases since I upgraded from 8.15 to 8.22.
The messages are comming in from remote MTA's and even if the local virt.Domain and the recipient mailbox does exist and anything seems correct Imail does reject the message with the "not a localhost [domainname] not a gateway" message. I've tried almost anything. Deleting the virt.Host, creating it from new trough the Imail-Admin, trough the WebMessagging interface or also - like thousands of other virt.Hosts in the past - trough addomain.exe from the command line. Certain shortly added domains seemed working while others does not. One time I was able to solve the problem by stopping and restarting the SMTP-Service.
