I'm not sure why you want to avoid doing the latter. After
all, if you want every user to receive a particular
message, the easiest way is to send it them :)

One way you could imagine doing this is putting something
in auth-perl-onlogin to deliver a message to the mailbox
of any user who logs in. Note that the onlogin actions run
after the user's tpop3d process has been forked, so they
might only receive the message the next time they log in.
You'd need to maintain a database of who had and had not
received the message, obviously.
