I once created an extension of the email ibrary: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewreply/564654/
It allows you to attach a "virtual" file.

In your case you could use:

Code:

$filename = $this->model->the_correct_filename_stored_on_the_database();
$file_contents = file_get_contents('/path/to/generated_random_string');
$this->email->attach($filename, 'attachment', $file_contents );
