It's already been suggested that you create a mailing list containing
all users. Is that unacceptable for some reason?
Here's a quick and dirty method:
$ awk -F: '{print $1}' </etc/passwd >~/.qmail-all-users
$ #optional: edit ~/.qmail-all-users, remove system accounts
$ cat >msg <<MSG
From: kbajwa
To: kbajwa-all-users
Subject: Reboot
blah blah blah
MSG
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject <msg
