maybe when they ask you questions by email you could send them a generic email pointing them to the manual, FAQs, or guidelines.
That's what I do, usually the first time they are not happy but since they see that I'm not going to do the work for them next time they don't even try. Granted I'm not in your field but lazy and stupid people are everywhere.

What slays me is, I
do that! I send them to our manual, to our handouts, to our Uploading Guides, to...you name it. Then, after I send that, they write BACK or they call and say, "yes, but
I don't understand it."
I never quite know what to say then. I know full well that they didn't bother to read it. Couldn't even take a look. But what am I supposed to say, "oh, you're a liar?"
