Quoting Odhiambo WASHINGTON:
We have something like that with tpop3d (Chris Lightfoot's). tpop3d is nolonger maintained but it's rock solid as a POP3 daemon. It gives this feature via some perl hooks (plugin, I'd call it, for lack of the proper word atm) and works very well. It serves the "bulletin" without any reference to the MTA, and keeps a DB of those users who have received/retrieved/pop-ed the bulletin(s) so that they don't get them twice.
You can do just that with dovecot, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting It's not very good performance-wise, because you spawn extra processes for each login, but it depends on your setup/use-case how much it affects you.
That's worth noting, but...
What about getting notices out to those folks whose IMAP client stays connected (sometimes for days on end)?
