/barr@.*COLORADO\.EDU/h:j

will junk all articles which contain your address in any of the
headers (specified by h:).  The domain part of the address will
be matched without regard to case. Also, the specific host or
subdomain within Colorado.EDU won't matter. Obiously, you'll want to
substitute the address (or other string) that you want to
match.

A control-k should fire up your editor on the relevant KILL file.

By the way, you should have posted your question to
news.newusers.questions, rather than to comp.mail.misc, since it
obviously has nothing to do with mail. I have redirected
followups there.
