The IP address 98.136.217.65 belongs to Yahoo! Are you sending from a Yahoo! address?

Yahoo! is not very good at controlling spam. Therefore, from time to time, its servers get blacklisted for being sources of spam. Fortunately, the ban runs out after a few hours, as a rule. Currently it's saying "in approximately two hours".

The only long-term cure, as far as I can tell, is to use an email address with a different provider.

I ran into the same problem myself, and that's what I ended up doing.
