It is a simple matter to provide a 'bounce' email automatically sent to
non-subscribers who attempt to post to a list, that contains detailed
information about LibO support options (mail lists, forums, etc)... but
this would require a change in the website to provide a 'Support' link
page to link to (please, please separate it out from the 'Contribute'
page!)...
