It's common practice to include web addresses in emails, so treating all 
messages with 'http://' in them as spam will most likely give you false 
positives.

CGI::ContactForm, as Owen mentioned, uses two techniques to stop spam. 
The 'spamfilter' regex is one of them, and there is also a cookie based 
method for preventing automated messages from being sent.
