    Send email to all users on server

    I have a mail server set up and running. I need to send an email to all users letting them know of an up coming outage but I am not sure how to do this. There is over 100 users so I do not want to send them one by one.

    Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe from the command line? We use Postfix and do mave mutt installed if those help

    It's not very elegant but how about

    awk --field-separator=\: '{print $1"@myhost.com,"}' /etc/passwd

    to build the list of email addresses to use as a bcc list?

    Why not creating a mailing list with all them and just email that list?
