There are no pending regulations for opt-in mailing lists, which 
is what Mailman is meant to be used for.

Although this list has had a few inquiries from spammers, 
Mailman is not really designed for spam type mailings.  (There 
are much "Better" tools for those type of mailings.)  The footer 
on mailman messages already includes a link to the page where 
the user can sign off the list.

But if you do feel that you need to add stuff, you can use the 
"Footer added to mail sent to regular list members" section on 
the "Regular Members (non-digest) options" page.
