     You haven't mentioned which version of Services you're using, but
if you're using 4.4.x, you can set the kill message using the
StaticAkillReason directive in the configuration file, or you can leave
it undefined to use the reason given in the AKILL command as the kill
message.  However, some IRC servers cannot record a message with an
autokill, and so only the first user matching the autokill will see the
message--the rest will see a different message chosen by the IRC server,
and there isn't really anything you can do about that except change IRC
servers or modify Services to not actually send out an AKILL (i.e. just
kill each matching user as they come on).  From the message you gave, I
suspect the latter is the case here.
