Not in stock Sympa, but I did this in an easy mod of my own to admin.pm, 
just requires adding one include line at the top and then a block of 
standard template parsing in the list creation module, with the diff 
against version 5.3.4 given below.  Then just create your default 
message_footer.tt2 in the etc/mail.tt2 directory.

I think I submitted this patch a long time ago, but it was rejected as not 
being in line with Sympa design.  But I could be confused about that.
