My not at all supported by anything canon theory about why Voldemort
can receive the messages from the Marks without having one himself is
that the Marks are still a part of his magic, binding the master
magically to his servants.  It makes sense to me that the reason the
Mark faded to almost disappearing after he lost his body and then
began to slowly darken as he grew stronger is because his magic was no
longer there, fueling the power of the mark.  Hence, when someone uses
the Mark to send a message, they're in effect sending the message with
part of Voldemort's own magic and he feels it.  And since all of the
DE's are connected by a thread of Voldemort's magic, they feel it as well.

But that's just my humble not supported by canon theory.
