Use following one its working : 

((mailto\:|(news|(ht|f)tp(s?))\://){1}\S+)

Here you can test it : http://regexlib.com/RETester.aspx?regexp_id=37

As suggested, try using Negative-lookahead.

This could give you a head-start:

(href|src)\=\"(?!(http|mailto))(\/)?

Just in case someone else comes across this question, I changed it like this

(href|src)\=\"(?!http|mailto)(\/)?
