You are correct you found a pattern.

A quick test with something silly like this showed it.

grep -i -e
"\/[a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9][a-f0-9]"
/tmp/samples.txt | grep http  | grep -v "img "

However, I predicted and found that this pattern is not indicative of spam/ham.

I found it used a LOT in newsletters and automated subscriptions.  I quickly
found 217 hits in my recent HAM corpora.

I think we even use it a lot in code for things like "couldn't view this email?
 View it on the web at..." type notices using sha1 hex-encoded hashes.

In short, good try but no dice.

Regards,
KAM
