I would have to disagree with this, as do the authors of most of the
rules that RDJ downloads.  From http://www.rulesemporium.com/:

  3. Many spam can be caught using Bayes, and we strongly recommend
     the use of Bayes in any/all SpamAssassin systems. SARE rules are
     designed to compliment Bayes, not replace it.
