Correct Syntax for allowing files

Hello,

A client of ours sends out a virus definition file update in the form
of a .bat file.  The filename is Virus Definition Update-Remote Users.bat.


In my filename.rules.conf file I put in the following line then restarted
MailScanner

allow   'Virus Definition Update-Remote Users.bat'      -       -

MailScanner still blocked it as it looked at .bat as the extension as the
full filename.

Where am I going wrong here?

Thanks

Regards,
