One thing you can do is put a line consisting of "-- " at the bottom
of your messages.  LISTSERV considers anything following such a line
to be a .sig file and will not attempt to process it as commands.

Unfortunately, the above suggestion won't help this.

You mentioned the web interface.  If the web interface is installed,
the URL to post a message to mailing list 'listname' at host
'host.name' would be something like:

        http://host.name/scripts/wa.exe?P1&L=listname

Otherwise, you might be able to do something with a DISTRIBUTE job.
I don't have a lot of experience with DISTRIBUTE, however, so I leave
it to someone else to decide if that's an idea worth looking into.
