My question to you is, who is responsible when the snow plow runs into
your mailbox? Doesn't the snow plow contractor / municipality have some
liability in this matter?

In some areasit is illegal to have a solid mailbox post next to road,
considered a danger to drivers.

Ignoring that issue, however, as mentioned you can use metal plates to
reconnect, or, I have used scrap pieces of 2X4s to "sandwich" together
pieces of wood like this....if you have the broken pieces of the post,
you could probably salvage enough of that to do this....of course,
you'd need long lags of you use a 4X4.....Basically use wood as a
fastening plate rather than the galvanized you commonly see.
