Hello.

It appears that digium is using postfix and mailman.

If qmail and ezmlm was being used, an unsubscribe and help footer can be 
added.
The help sends the user a help file where there is an option to retrieve a FAQ 
file, an info file and previous mails by index, number, thread etc.

The point is, it keeps the footer small.
