You could probably just put a "mail -s 'Welcome!' ..." in:
/usr/local/sbin/adduser.local
That's hooked from /usr/sbin/adduser - if you're using some other
mechanism, that won't work.
You could also do it at a lower level by renaming /usr/sbin/useradd to
something else and invoking it from a new /usr/sbin/useradd which did the
mailout.
If you're not calling either of those, then... do something different :)
