I would take a proactive approach and build public distrubition lists appropriately titled.  Through the IT department and other department heads, I would get mandatory use of the lists.  I would not think there could be any way that management would turn down the idea as proper communication would then be insured.  I would also take ownership of then keeping all the lists updated when new people come on board.
I would also make friends with a few people who are on the lists of who ever is not updating.  From their emails I would then forward the emails to the entire list including the non updater with an extremely polite notice - resending just in case someone may have missed the first email.  A few of these duplicate emails go along way to politely getting information where it needs to be.  (People do not like their in box junked up with duplicate emails and it's easy to see who is not on the first email.)
