I seem to recall that Russell Nelson wrote a popbull package that worked with
regular qmail-pop3d, and therefore didn't require vpopmail.  As Russell runs
qmail.org, I would think you would be able to find a reference to it there.

No this is not spam, but there are alternatives:

Create a mailinglist where every user is subscribed (automatically when-
ever a new user is added to the system). Have this list moderated by
the sysadmin. Now the sysadmin is able to send mails to everyone.

Use newsgroups.

Rick:

Thank you for your excellent suggestion. Unfortunately, the current system,
as it stands today, does not have this software installed. The reason we
want to broadcast an email message is so that current users of the system
know a planned shutdown of the system so a patch can be installed. I will
look into vpopmail package ( I know nothing about it ) and maybe use it in
the future.

Thanks again.

Kirti

David:

Thanks for your reply. It seems that you have sent a program file in your
reply. I do not think that I can just install it without know about it.
Kindly let me know what this exe file does?

Chris:

One of the company I work for has qmail with 200 users. They have to patch a
system file which require that the system be re-booted. Instead of just
shutting down the system, they want to send a email message to everybody
announcing the planned shutdown.

IS IT A SPAM?

I think in future keep your comments to yourself until you know what the
hell you are talking about. use your energies for productive work.
