There shouldn't be although I recommend a modification to the text of the email sent out.
1. You are only sending it to members who (a) registered on your site and (b) left the "Recive email from admins" box checked: that's opt-in.
2. Now add the opt-out part - Make sure that you're outgoing email reads something like this (
Admin CP | vBulletin Options | Inactive User Reminder Emails -> Email message:
Code:
Hello, $username!
