Perhaps you could deliver such updates on demand, using a status/MOTD Messenger bot. Your users can add the bot and whenever they want to check on your service's status, they can message it and receive an automated reply set by you.
That could probably be easily done with Plus! scripting and wouldn't require them to be on the bot's contact list with the right privacy settings. Someone else here might be able to help you with the script.
