Is there a Mod or hack to send a welcome message via email or PM or both to new registration users?

I've checked a few sites I know of that have mods and I haven't seen anything except for the use of phpbb.

hi, this would work to send a message to new users by email.
Open modules/Your_Account/index.php. Find the "function activate".
Within that function look for the following:

Code:

global $db, $user_prefix, $module_name, $language;

At the end of the line add $adminmail so it should look like the following:

Code:

global $db, $user_prefix, $module_name, $language, $adminmail;

Next find the following:

Code:

if ($check_num == $row[check_num]) {

Below that paste the following:

Code:

$message = "PLACE YOUR MESSAGE TO NEW USERS HERE.";        $subject = "WRITE YOUR SUBJECT(WELCOME NEW USER)";        $from = "$adminmail";        mail($row['user_email'], $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

Of course just edit what's in bold.
