Than post the letter.

He had done nothing more than post the letter.

Is the above sentence grammatical? And if so, can I use the verb "post" (an infinitive?) after the conjunction "than" or should I use the past participle "posted" to be in agreement with the past perfect of "had done" in the main clause?
