in Drupal 5 this is set on the User Settings screen at /admin/user/settings . if you select 'Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required', admins will be sent an email when new users register.

in Drupal 6 this behavior might change or be more configurable using Actions and Triggers.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't want to approve all accounts, but would just like to be notified when a user joins. Is that possible?

For that matter, I would like to be able to be able to "subscribe" to different people or forum areas and get notifications of new postings. Is that possible?

Thanks,

I think I understand now. I enabled the new Triggers module and in the Users tab assigned a new action I created, which is to send me email when a user joins.

It seems like a nice, modular way of doing it.

It wasn't exactly clear which variables were available in the email, but I was hoping that at least %username was.
