I'm using 1.9.3 on Linux (at Dreamhost). What is the best way to notify all my registered users via email? I'm sure there's an extension out there.
Thanks!

I don't see any extension on mediawiki.com that does what you're asking for, but even if no such extension exists, I'm sure there are ways to extract the email addresses of all your users (you could then use any sort of mailer to send out the messages, including the one that DreamHost offers).
However, be careful, since you're on DreamHost: They have a rather stringent anti-spam policy (http://dreamhost.com/spam.html), and you could run afoul of it if you're not careful. Contact DH support before sending out a mass mailing that people haven't opted in to, to make sure you don't get yourself in trouble.
