First question, why did it get caught: That I can't answer without knowing
what your rules are.
Second question: Likely a spammer. "wantme69" sounds like a spammer's
address, plus the "kwfdca" in the subject (a short string of random
characters) is a common "signature" of spammers.
Third question: If it is a spammer, it could simply be that they are
harvesting E-mail addresses on your server using a poorly designed
harvesting program; check the logs to see if there are huge amounts of
"RCPT TO:"'s without many actual deliveries.

It sounds like the spam is coming from one of your servers, if you're
blocking the IP address!
