Excluding files with no extensions - windows cygwin client

using a standard rsync command line, with this as the --exclude-from file:

+ /*.pst
- *.*

While this does include only files with a .pst extension, it also includes
files without an extension.  This means about 5000 files instead of just a
handful.  Using the --prune-empty-dirs gets rid of the empty directories,
but not the files with no extensions.  

I've tried:

+ /*.pst
- *.*
- *

and:

+ /*.pst
- *.*
- /*

and:

+ /*.pst
- *.*
- *.

but those cause no files to be copied at all, i assume because it's forcing
it to exclude all directories.

So is there a way to tell rsync to ignore files with no extensions?

TIA
