If you have PHP on your server,
you could try this script I wrote awhile ago,
should do the trick.

CODE

#!/usr/bin/php
<?PHP
//
//Send an email to everyone on the system
//
$mailroot = "/var/MailRoot/";
$domainroot = $mailroot."domains";
$message = "\r\nThe system will be down for 5 minutes this evening at 6pm\r\n";
$subject = "System Down Time this evening";
$from = "Postmaster@Domain.Tld";
//
//
$grouplist = $mailroot."mailusers.tab";
$listline = @file($grouplist);
if ($listline != FALSE) {
foreach ($listline as $line){
if (substr($line,0,1) == "#") continue;
$data = explode("\t",$line);
$domain = trim($data[0],"\x22\x27\r\n");
$user = trim($data[1],"\x22\x27\r\n");
$isdir = is_dir($domainroot."/".$domain."/".$user."/Maildir/new");
$mailfile = $domainroot."/".$domain."/".$user."/Maildir/new/email_from_admin.txt";
if ($isdir == true) {
file_put_contents($mailfile,Mailcontents($from,$user,$domain,$subject,$message));
}
}
}

function Mailcontents($from,$user,$domain,$subject,$message)
{
$return = "Date: ".date(DATE_RFC822)."\r\n";
$return .= "From: $from\r\n";
$return .= "To: ".$user."@".$domain."\r\n";
$return .= "Subject: $subject\r\n";
$return .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$return .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed\r\n";
$return .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
$return .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
return($return);
}
?>
