Receiving ICMP 3 from my gatevay

I am getting ICMP type 3 messages from my gateway machine and they are being dropped by iptables. My questions are...

1. Is this correct behaviour to send ICMP type 3 messages from gateway machine, with source IP of that gateway machine, as opposed to sending it with the source IP of the non-local machine I am trying to access.

2. If it is correct behaviour, why aren't these matched by RELATED target.

3. Is there anything else wrong with these packets?
