It's a special list in a newsreader. If you put someone's mail address in it, their posts no longer appear to you. They will still be there, but you can't see them

A killfile is another name for a mail filter, also known as a message filter. Most newsreaders and similar web-browsing programs come with some sort of feature like that.
Incidently, the "sound effect" for adding someone to a killfile is *plonk*
I've no idea why... that's just something that developed over time.

When you killfile something, you destroy the message except for the header. If you add something to a killfile list, then that means all news messages that satisfy a certain condition are killed automatically.
