While trying to make new post with Wordpress I get the 403 Forbidden error, log shows this:

2011-09-19 00:27:09.324 NOTICE [82.181.193.116:57055-0#XXXX] mod_security rule triggered!
[Mon Sep 19 00:27:09 2011] [error] [client 82.181.193.116] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 403, [Rule: 'ARGS' '(fromCharCode|http-equiv|<.+>|innerHTML|dynsrc|-->)']

How can I tell the server that this is not an XSS attack?

This indicates that page (/wp-admin/post.php) that does the post contains value of "fromCharCode|http-equiv|<.+>|innerHTML|dynsrc|-->" (any). You may verify by looking that source of the page (not php code itself). If that's the case, you can disable the rule.

Did you recover from this? If yes can you share the steps you did to overcome?
