You could have them add you but you not add them. The only problem would be you wouldn't be able to start a conversation with them.

To do it you would just have to follow the picture below:

Just let them add you. You should have their emails stored on your site if you need to contact them... Send a message or email using their details.

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.

If you want to send messages to a large group of people then I suggest using email lists and keeping IM for instant support, this is how I would personally deal with this.  It also seems to be common practise just to use some kind of ticketting sstem for problems and blog entries for problems to do with the site (downtime for example).

You might want to check out Windows Live Alerts. I'm not exactly sure of how it works but it might be of interest to you...

Just store the emails but don't add them to Messenger. You will need to make sure people not in your contact list are able to send you IMs.

If you need to start a conversation with them, right click on the tray icon, press "Send an instant message", and type the email.
