This may be an arpanet address, I do not know as it is not a normal TLD.

According to the RFCs if you have a mail server you should have a
postmaster@domain.tld email address for the domain. If you serve up web pages
you should have webmaster@domain.tld. You should always have an
abuse@domain.tld, a lot of domains do not but should.

> postmaster@151.17.220.66.in-addr.arpa
> postmaster@17.220.66.in-addr.arpa
> postmaster@220.66.in-addr.arpa
> postmaster@66.in-addr.arpa
> postmaster@in-addr.arpa

All of these email address should got the the correct place, some, or all, may
end up going to the same place. Also poatmaster@66.220.17.151 should work.
