   I got mail from several people (about 5) who said that a line like
   hack:world,rec.games.hack::/usr/lib/sendmail hack

   would do the trick.  Yep, it does unless someone specifies a
   distribution of local or uk.  I can't add local and uk into the
   sys line 'cos then all articles for the local and uk hierachy will
   get sent through the mail.  What I really wanted as the ideal
   solution is a line for the sys file which sends any article for
   rec.games.hack through the mail for distributions of local, uk, eunet
   and world.  Any experts?

We do something similar here:

#
# send all incoming resumes to resumes
RESUMES:world,na,ca,!ca.all,ba,!ba.all,oracle,!oracle.all,\
 misc.jobs.resumes::/bin/mail resumes

..it's the distribution,!distribution.all construct that you need.
