About this footer, can you please remove it from your emails that you send to 
a public mailing list? 

You're telling us we don't have the rights to redistribute your email without 
express authorization but then again you're sending the email to a mailing 
list that all it does is redistribute your email so it feels a bit weird.

Cheers,
