Actually, I'd prefer just having the md5s in the email itself on the
theory that if someone was able to change the files on your site, they
could also change the md5s.

Of course, someone could even more easily spoof email, but I, ah, er,
rigorously inspect the headers of every one of these upload requests.
Yep.  I do.
