Guess you better take this up with the ALE list maintainer then:

I know you said private emails above, but I don't think a signature like
this is even remotely enforcable.  IANAL either (and I have no idea what
ADPOOT stands for), but email is copied at every relay it goes through,
so trying to enforce copyright would be a stretch.  Similarly, an email
is "provided" to any organization whose server it passes through.  And
what about .forward files?  Spam filters?  Virus scanners?
