The guy is almost certainly a spammer preparing to spam you. He is testing to see if
you can send E-mails quick enough. The return address is almost certainly forged, but
the IP address rarely is. FYI, it's not CompuServe: 209.207.216.180 is
node1.nexworks.com.
Time to get your system ready not to relay.

Okay guys, this is weird!
I have a iMail copybox email set up so I see all email going through my
server. I just had 44 emails sent in the span of few minutes. All were sent
from CompuServe accounts to CompuServe accounts.
First an email would be Subject "208.170.56.151", the body would simply say
"test". Then an email would be Subject "208.170.56.151 Test Report", the
body would say "It took 1 seconds to send the test email through server
208.170.56.151". It looks like this was done for all the IP addresses on my
iMail server.
I tried to contact the schmuck doing this, but CompuServe returned the
email, user unknown.
SO here are my questions: Who, What, Where, and Why?! Here is the header
from one of the emails:
