Is my computer safe enough if I use just iptables?

Hi,
  I have firewall script using iptables which runs from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. This script does nothing except allowing just http,
smtp for outer world(inbound). All type of connections are allowed from
the machine to the outerworld (outbound). I have not set anything else
like in hosts.deny/hosts.allow or sshd.conf.
  My question is, according to your knowledge, is my computer safe enough?
Till now I have not suffered from any proble, but this cannot go on
for-ever.

Regards from
VJ
