except, thats the receiving server, and it shouldn't be rejecting itself.

$ host -t MX tata-nigeria.com
tata-nigeria.com mail is handled by 30 mx4.servershost.net.
tata-nigeria.com mail is handled by 10 mx2.servershost.net.
tata-nigeria.com mail is handled by 20 mx3.servershost.net.
$ host mx4.servershost.net
mx4.servershost.net has address 66.225.237.241

the host is probably dualhomed, and that 66 IP matches the reverse...

$ host 66.225.237.241
241.237.225.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mx4.servershost.net.

servershost.net appears to be a US based hosting company, yet their 
WHOIS data is shrouded, and they dont have any websites at that domain 
name, further
http://rbls.org/servershost.net
says they are broken, and have no postmaster or abuse alias as required 
by the internet RFCs.
