I have an ignore file for rsync but I can't figure out how to ignore this string of file names and the username:

backup/cpbackup/daily/username/homedir/mail/cur/1244452567.H511146P7355.dwhs45.dwhs.net,S=2161:2,

backup/cpbackup/daily/username/homedir/mail/cur/1244455430.H516330P14494.dwhs45.dwhs.net,S=4062:2,

I tried this:

backup/cpbackup/daily/*/homedir/mail/cur/*

and this:

*.*.dwhs45.dwhs.*

But of course that would be too easy.

Basically I just want to not transfer all the mail in the /cur/ directory for all users to the backups.
