I'm not sure I follow you here..
If phisher has control of evil.com he could send out send out unique
urls in each and every spam, all pointing to the same physical host.
Sure, MD5 hashes is efficient, but the number of possible urls is nearly
unlimited. It would be much easier to list the host instead.
