Would this work for you?

- Set up an Announcements category that every person who registers watches first post by default (can be set in admin settings)
- Allow only staff to post in the Announcements category to protect users from spam (can be set in category settings)

Now when you post in Announcements, everyone gets the notification, including people who haven’t signed in because with them watching first post, they’ll get emailed with the full text of the post.
