Solution 1:

You can register a callback on the post_save signal for the User model. Somewhere along the lines of:

# note: untested codefrom django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

defemail_new_user(sender, **kwargs):
    if kwargs["created"]:  # only for new users
        new_user = kwargs.["instance"]
        # send email to new_user.email ..

post_save.connect(email_new_user, sender=User)

Note the if kwargs["created"]: condition which checks if this is a newly created User instance.

Solution 2:

Use the post_save signal, which has a created argument sent with the signal. If created is true, send your email.

Solution 3:

You can use the signals framework. A post-save signal on User objects will be appropriate, see here for a similar example.
