* Distribution: の値 (配布範囲名)
[15]
あまり上手く機能していないので、使われない(使わないようにしようとする)
傾向にあります。
world が既定値的に扱われています。 local が自分のホストだけを指す
名前としてよく使われます。その他の名前は各ホストの設定次第です。
日本では [[fj.*]] への投稿で fj という名前が良く使われていましたが、
意味が無いので止めようということになりました (がまだつけている
人もいるとかいないとか)。
draft-usefor-article では先頭に「!」をつけることでその範囲を除外できる
としています。
また、「all」の使用を禁じ、配布範囲名は3文字以上とし、
2文字の名前は国名と見なすとしています。

[2] [CODE[local]] は、ローカル・サイトのみ配布します。
投稿したサーバーのみ又は投稿したサーバーの属する組織内のみ配布されるのが普通です。
[4] [CODE[world]] は世界中に配布します。
[3] [CODE[fj]] は、 [[fj.*]] に記事を投稿する時に慣習的につけていましたが、
1995〜6年頃意味が無いからやめようと言われだされ、その後徐々に減り、やがて書くことが間違いとされ、今ではほとんど見かけません。
[CODE[Distribution:]] が [[Newsgroups:]] のように使われていた時代の名残とも言われています。
(真偽はしらん。)
[12] 米国・カナダの州についてはその2文字略称が使われています。

** RFC 1036 (Usefor) 2.2.7. Distribution
[PRE[
This line is used to alter the distribution scope of the message.
It is a comma separated list similar to the "Newsgroups" line. User
subscriptions are still controlled by "Newsgroups", but the message
is sent to all systems subscribing to the newsgroups on the
"Distribution" line in addition to the "Newsgroups" line. For the
message to be transmitted, the receiving site must normally receive
one of the specified newsgroups AND must receive one of the
specified distributions. Thus, a message concerning a car for sale
in New Jersey might have headers including:
]PRE]
[PRE[
Newsgroups: rec.auto,misc.forsale
Distribution: nj,ny
]PRE]
[PRE[
so that it would only go to persons subscribing to rec.auto or misc.
for sale within New Jersey or New York. The intent of this header
is to restrict the distribution of a newsgroup further, not to
increase it. A local newsgroup, such as nj.crazy-eddie, will
probably not be propagated by hosts outside New Jersey that do not
show such a newsgroup as valid. A follow-up message should default
to the same "Distribution" line as the original message, but the
user can change it to a more limited one, or escalate the
distribution if it was originally restricted and a more widely
distributed reply is appropriate.
]PRE]
** draft-ietf-usefor-article-06 (Usefor) 6.6. Distribution
[PRE[
The Distribution header is an inheritable header (see 4.2.2.2) which
specifies geographical or organizational limits to an article's
propagation.
]PRE]
[PRE[
Distribution-content= distribution *( dist-delim distribution )
dist-delim = ","
distribution = positive-distribution /
negative-distribution
positive-distribution
= *FWS distribution-name *FWS
negative-distribution
= *FWS "!" distribution-name *FWS
distribution-name = ALPHA 1*distribution-rest
distribution-rest = ALPHA / "+" / "-" / "_"
]PRE]
[PRE[
NOTE: The use of ALPHA in the syntax ensures that distribution
names are always in US-ASCII.
]PRE]
[PRE[
Articles MUST NOT be passed between relaying agents or to serving
agents unless the sending agent has been configured to supply and the
receiving agent to receive BOTH of
(a) at least one of the newsgroups in the article's Newsgroups
header, and
(b) at least one of the positive-distributions (if any) in the
article's Distribution header and none of the negative-
distributions.
Additionally, reading agents MAY be configured so that unwanted
distributions do not get displayed.
]PRE]
[PRE[
NOTE: Although it would seem redundant to filter out unwanted
distributions at both ends of a relaying link (and it is clearly
more efficient to do so at the sending end), many sending sites
have been reluctant, historically speaking, to apply such
filters (except to ensure that distributions local to their own
site or cooperating subnet did not escape); moreover they tended
to configure their filters on an "all but those listed" basis,
so that new and hitherto unheard of distributions would not be
caught. Indeed many "hub" sites actually wanted to receive all
possible distributions so that they could feed on to their
clients in all possible geographical (or organizational)
regions.
]PRE]
[PRE[
Therefore, it is desirable to provide facilities for rejecting
unwanted distributions at the receiving end. Indeed, it may be
simpler to do so locally than to inform each sending site of
what is required, especially in the case of specialized
distributions (for example for control messages, such as cancels
from certain issuers) which might need to be added at short
notice. Tha possibility for reading agents to filter
distributions has been provided for the same reason.
]PRE]
[PRE[
Exceptionally, ALL relaying agents are deemed willing to supply or
accept the distribution "world", and NO relaying agent should supply
or accept the distribution "local". However, "world" SHOULD NEVER be
mentioned explicitly since it is the default when the Distribution
header is absent entirely. "All" MUST NOT be used as a
distribution-name. Distribution-names SHOULD contain at least three
characters, except when they are two-letter country names as in [ISO
3166]. Distribution-names are case-insensitive (i.e. "US", "Us" and
"us" all specify the same distribution).
]PRE]
[PRE[
NOTE: "Distribution: !us" can be used to cause an article to go
to the whole of "world" except for "us".
]PRE]
[PRE[
Posting agents Ought Not to provide a default Distribution header
without giving the poster an opportunity to override it. Followup
agents SHOULD initially supply the same Distribution header as found
in the precursor.
