If the kill file exists in %home% it will be used, it does not matter
whether you use the command line switch or not.
I suppose the command line would only be useful for specifying a
different kill file.
Perhaps the kill file uses those regular expressions? I'm not
completely sure how regular expression work. For example, I have
all {
Subject $50,000
}
I've noticed that subjects with "$50,000" do not always get killed, so
maybe the $ or the , is part of a regular expression?
Maybe you have some of these regular expression chars in your kill file?
I believe the . is also one of them....
