Maybe something like:
'Be prepared to generate an MD5 checksum (using "md5sum") in case an
attachment is under the suspicion of being corrupted.'

I think I would just remove the last two sentences (starting with "If
you..."). At least I don't see a a necessary connection between the two
things. The only thing to prevent being thrown out is to behave, not
become a respected contributor; to me it still sounds like contributors
don't need to behave (the last sentence doesn't manage to undo that
IMO).
