If you enable the `must approve users` site setting, moderators will get a notification for all new signups. The limitation with that approach is that users will not be able to login to the forum until they have been approved by a staff member.

Another approach would be to use the User Event webhook to trigger an email for all new signups. You could use a service like Zapier to listen for the webhook.
