Posterous should make a client-side proxy for pulling the feed. Just a small Java applet, or Flash or whatever (I'm not 100% sure how cross-site protection is implemented), and have users run that to down- and upload the pictures. Once that's in place they can send an email to twitpic, telling them that they've circumvented the block, and they should feel free to unblock Rackspace.

I'm pretty sure this could be implemented with JavaScript.

  For the RSS, yes, but I don't think JS can download and then upload an image.

    With HTML5, you can.

      How ? Do you have links to any sample code at all ?

        HTML5 File API, it seems - https://developer.mozilla.org/en/using_files_from_web_applications https://developer.mozilla.org/en/using_files_from_web_applic... Looks pretty sweet!
