/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin set notify_admins_on_all_account_creation 1 restart
notify_admins_on_all_account_creation

The above command will make the changes in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf file by adding 1 value in front of notify_admins_on_all_account_creation to enable the feature. You can verify the made changes using following command,

cat /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf | grep notify_admins_on_all_account_creation
