Well, you just sent 1300 messages through their server, I'm not
completely surprised.  Here's the text from that page:

If you have received the error message below, Road Runner has detected
an unusually large volume of e-mail coming from your Road Runner e-mail
account, probably due to a virus on your computer. In an effort to
protect customers and the rest of the Internet from e-mail spam coming
from the Road Runner network, we have temporarily limited your ability
to send e-mail via the Road Runner outbound mail servers for today.
