You could rather easily create a script to send out a mail to all of the users. Something like this could be done in PHP (or something similar if you'd rather).

Of course, you'd want to make sure that your host (or ISP) allow for such a large number of emails to be sent out.

Yes, there is software that can do that, however first you may want to verify with your ISP that you're allowed to. A lot of ISP's may restrict the amount of mail you send out at once to prevent spam from being sent out on their servers.
