In sh: Tweak F to your needs. A bit quick but it should work

Code:
#!/bin/sh

F='/path/to/that/certain/file'
MD5='/tmp/md5ofthatcertainfile'

[ "$(md5sum "$F")" = "$(cat "$MD5" 2>/dev/null)" ] || {
	md5sum "$F" > "$MD5"
	# Send your e-mail here
}

exit 0

Schedule it with cron (crontab -e typically)

gst-md5sum

GStreamer(1)						      General Commands Manual						      GStreamer(1)

NAME

       gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

SYNOPSIS

       gst-md5sum [OPTION...] PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

       gst-md5sum generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

       In theory, running

	    gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

       should print out the same checksum as

	    md5sum music.mp3

       The  pipeline  should  be  incomplete,  that  is, a final sink element should be omitted, so that gst-md5sum can connect the pipeline to an
       md5sink element.

       See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION.

OPTIONS

       gst-md5sum accepts the following options:

       --help  Print help synopsis and available FLAGS

       -v      Output verbose information

       --gst-info-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer info flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-debug-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer debugging flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer info and debugging flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-plugin-spew
	       GStreamer info flags to set Enable printout of errors while loading GStreamer plugins

       --gst-plugin-path=PATH
	       Add directories separated with ':' to the plugin search path
