If it is critical, I put it in config/motd (or imp/config/motd, depending
on your setup) so it displays before login.  Then, critical or not, I put
it in the MOTD horde app (not released yet, but works in my setup).  But,
there is nothing to force them to view the MOTD messages -- you can force
it onto everyones Horde summary page, but they can bypass that by going
directly to IMP for example, so it may not be what you want.

If your IMAP server supports IMAP alerts, that might work for you also?

The MOTD application supports expiration times, etc.  Just not a way, AFAIK,
to force people to read or acknowledge it...

I think the MOTD sub-project wants to progress to this stage, but is so far
lying in neglect... :(
