  I followed Your import from posterous instructions. After selecting the xml file I click import and get the following error report:
  Sorry, ther has been an error
  The file is not an xml file. Please see instructions for downloading and using the Posterous backup file.

  It definately is the wordpress_export_1.xml file I selected.
  Please help me to come on track again…

  I am trying to import as well. I request a new zip. Export it. Point the importer directly at the wordpress xml and I get the error posted in #1 msg.

  Could you please send the .xml file to us by e-mail? This way we can take a closer look at it and import it for you.
