The second field of the "sys" line is used to match distributions as well
as newsgroups, which I found out recently to my chagrin. If you include "all"
in this field, beware that articles with "local" distribution may also be
broadcast. I would suggest something along the lines of:

	sitec:world,na,usa,comp:F:/usr/spool/batch/sitec
