There probably is no complete list, since any site administrator can
design their own. You can only post to distributions your site handles.
Some of the more popular ones are:
world everywhere
na North America
local Your machine
state-abbrev that state (ca, nj, il, ....)
country-abbrev that country (e.g. us, uk, dk, fr...)
ba S.F. Bay Area
chi Chicago
company-abbrev that company (att, bbn, ...)
alt, biz Groups of sites that have agreed to carry
that collection of groups.
