Note that in the future, a good solution would be to put users in a special 
space and just watch that space.

Maybe that's the best for now: simply watch the XWiki space. Normally there 
shouldn't be new documents created in it except for users.

This feature is not built in but you can code it in the following manner:

- You could do that by using a groovy script in a page that registers for 
document events and then check if the XWiki.XWikiUsers object was added to the 
document.
- If so then send an email using the mailsender plugin.

That requires a bit of development knowledge but we can help you.

For an example of how to code a groovy page that listens to document events:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/GroovyNotificationTutorial

Note that the source you'll get in the onEvent() method will be a XWikiDocument 
object. You'd need to check the source code or javadoc to find out the API you 
can use on XWikiDocument.
