Well, since these folks aren't subscribed to the list, this might not
work as well as we'd hope (kind of like how people keep asking questions
that are on the FAQ) though I'm certainly not against the idea.
Something a bit more encompassing would be a flat rejection of all posts
from non-subscribed posters (with instructions on how to subscribe and
set the option for nomail).
