Did you restart qmail after updating locals?

That doesn't make any sense. If "localhost" is not a virtual domain,
it *must* be in rcpthosts.
And do you mean "localhost" literally, or are you hiding some real
domain name?

Right, so what makes you think it shouldn't be in rcpthosts?

It's not accepting the mail via SMTP because "lcoalhost" isn't in
rcpthosts.

This is the expected behavior for a misconfigured qmail. :-)
Run qmail-showctl and post the results.
