\. in filename.rules.conf

[Dustin Baer]

I see the following in filename.rules.conf:

deny    pretty\s+park\.exe$
deny    happy99.exe$
deny    webpage\.rar$

Is the \ required before . ?

Also, I wanted to block any "doc.zip" attachments that come through, so
added the following line:

deny    doc.zip$        -       -

This also blocks dp_doc.zip, or anything else that has .....doc.zip.
The following appears to work properly, but just want to make sure:

deny    ^doc.zip$       -       -

Again, is a \. needed, rather than just the . ?

Thanks,

Dustin
