I also don't yet have news.answers approval (been waiting since 1995-01-08).
I don't find myself receiving many requests for the FAQ by email, probably
because its not a very widely known FAQ. (It's only been on the net a few
months, and is a single-subject FAQ sitting alongside about twenty others in
the same newsgroup.) I am in the process of writing myself a mail filter
that, among other things, will send mailing-list mail into separate folders,
and will respond to requests for certain files, including the FAQ. I've put
a notice in the latest version of the FAQ saying how to send an email
request that will be handled automatically, but it's in the version that has
been submitted for approval. I therefore don't expect to get many such
requests.
Anyway, there's your solution. Use a mail filter.
