I suspect it's hitting on all those dates as well, and needs some more 
tightening.

In the spams I’m looking at, all the hex strings are 32 characters. How long 
were they in Joe’s samples (no longer on pastebin)?

I have seen examples with hex strings as short as 12-16 characters, as well as GUID-esqe xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx dash-separated sequences. That's why the HEXHASH rule is more complex than what's being suggested here

Can some fresh samples be posted to pastebin?
