If you have a policy of this nature, then it is incumbent upon you to

list post.
The OP should arrange to use another mail posting route such as a
webmail address, this sort of thing is poor manners and should be
resisted before this crap buries the usefulness of mail in pointless
drivel.
While I agree with the sentiment, I'm not sure how practical it is...
If I see this sort of thing after I've told someone they should not be
doing it, they go in the kill file. That's then one more person who
won't be helped, and others who won't see useful suggestions if I have
them, I only have so much time to help and doing so for someone who
can't see the clash between their disclaimer and where they're posting
is time I don't have at all.
Kind of like complaining about top-posting or HTML email... it's there,
and it isn't going anywhere. When you let it bother you - it only
bothers *you*...
Easy, to posters and html-only mail goes straight in the bin.
And if you think I'm a net-Nazi, I can introduce you to people who can
peel the paint off a tank at 100 yards just by opening their mouths to
rant :)
