I host a majordomo list (networker@iphase.com) for Legato users.
It too has such a trailer and I have "administrivia" set to "yes".
You'd be surprised how many posts make it onto the list like this:
To: Networker@iphase.com
Subject: I want off
>>> Joe User posted to the Networker list:
unsubscibe
_
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To "unsubscribe", send the words "unsubscribe networker" in a message
to "majordomo@iphase.com". For more info, send the word "help" to the same
address. ALL such commands MUST be in the message BODY !!! Thanks!
List Archives are available at "http://www.iphase.com/NetWorker"

I have to laugh every time I see this... not only did they miss the
spelling, and the syntax, they missed the address altogether.
This usually seems to happen after a flurry of posting too, further
puzzling me. Oh well - I try. <sigh>
