I've done something a little different. I modified rmuser and adduser to add and delete new/old users to/from a .forward file. This .forward file belongs to a user "everyone." To send mail to "All Active Users" people just send mail to everyone. If you want, I'll forward the modified files from a 2.2.6-RELEASE machine.
