In many cases they *are* enough. Just blindly adding lots of rules won't really
help. You have to analyze what gets thru why and then take the appropriate
measures. Reading the sa list will really help in this. Just adding a few rules
special to your environment may be enough (e.g. I could just score on "deposit" while 
others can't as they may get ligitimate mail with this word). There are lots of good 
"markers" in the mail you provided.
