3.2.6 Distribution
The Distribution header specifies geographic or organizational limits
on an article's propagation.
distribution = "Distribution:" SP distribution-list CRLF
dist-list = [FWS] dist-name *( "," [FWS] dist-name ) [FWS]
dist-name = ALPHA / DIGIT
*( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "_" )
The <dist-name>s "world" and "local" are predefined. However,
"world" SHOULD NOT be used explicitly, since it is the default when
the Distribution header is absent entirely.
"All" MUST NOT be used as a <dist-name>. <dist-name>s SHOULD contain
at least three characters, except when they are two-letter country
names as in [ISO.3166.1988]. <dist-name>s are case-insensitive (i.e.
"US", "Us", "uS", and "us" all specify the same distribution).
