That is not explicitly supported. :( But you could probably hack
the same result by using suckkillfile. Find out the place where
pimppa put the file "suckkillfile". Then make a new file
with lines like (confirm that this usage is correct from "man suck")

HEADER: From:.*junkartist.*
HEADER: From:.*stewman.*

etc. and replace the original file with the file you made.
Pimppa should now skip the messages listed in that file.

One problem with this approach is that if you wish different
killfiles for different groups, you should have multiple suckkillfiles
and copy the correct one over before using pleech... I might
change this in the future to be more user friendly.

If you bother to try it, let me know if it works or not. ;)
