Ok, so we applied for N-400 last week(~ 2.5 months before 3 year anniversary of US citizen's spouse permanent residence/entry to US). Got the email acceptance confirmation as following:

"Dear Applicant/Petitioner:

Your USCIS application/petition has been received and routed to the National Benefits Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number NBC*XXXXXXXXX. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your application using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status.

This confirmation provides notification of the date USCIS received your application/petition. This notice does NOT grant any immigration status or benefit. You MAY NOT present this notice as evidence that you have been granted any immigration status or benefit. Further, this notice does NOT constitute evidence that your application remains pending with USCIS. The current status of your application/petition must be verified with USCIS.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE"

Is it supposed to go the National Benefits Center? If not, what could have gone wrong? I've looked around the site, and can't find anything about this except in the AOS forums.

Would appreciate the input!

Nothing has gone wrong. This is how it's supposed to be. The lockbox you sent it to is only a mail drop, and it's then rerouted to the appropriate department within the NBC. Relax. :yes:
