hello sir,

You can create an alias for all the users and send a mail to that alias.

To create an alias for all the users do the following.

1.edit /etc/mail/aliases file
2.create a new mail alias entry called "allusers" towards the end of the file. the syntax for the new mail alias entry should be as follows:

allusers:user1,user2,user3,user4........ and so on

3. Then to test whether the alias is working or not send a test mail to them as follows

mailx -s "test message" allusers                        (allusers is the new alias name)
message
.
EOT

Hope this should solve your problem


regards
prasad
