rsync - Dec 2001 - Is it possible to copy only files not existing in the destination?

Hi all rsync gurus

Is it possible to copy only files that do not exist in the destination but 
NOT to update existing files even if their date is older than source files' 
date.

The background of the question is that we have an environment (Lotus Domino) 
that makes it difficult to create new files but after they are created they 
are easy to keep in sync.
