Hey now, that's a little harsh!  I'm proud to say I do write rules for a 
"living" and hope to contribute more.

Don't make me get my Jan-Pieter voodoo doll out!

Anyway, the current rule I believe is actually worth using is this and more 
revisions might be made at

#KAM NUMBER EMAILS
header          __KAM_NUMBER1   Subject =~ /^\d+$/i
body            __KAM_NUMBER2   /\d{1,6}/
meta            KAM_NUMBER      ((__KAM_NUMBER1 + __KAM_NUMBER2 + 
MIME_HTML_ONLY + HTML_SHORT_LENGTH) >= 4)
describe        KAM_NUMBER      Silly Number Emails
score           KAM_NUMBER      0.1
