Since an autokill, or kline will be seen by the user after the
connection has been established and they have already got
numerics 1 to 6, it wont solve the case you have.
A zline though would probably be more effective since the fd
is freed quicker. You also could tweak your ircd.conf and
set better I:Lines instead of a globally usable I:Line.

As stated before, autokill will not help you get back your fds
faster enough. Moreover, an sqline is not designed to get
combined with autokills, since it means a quarantine, not a
forbid. Even if Andrew might consider combining a kill feature
with sqline, I believe he will make this optional.

I think that its already in the todo list, a feature to autokill
all users in a channel. Should this be implemented, you only
need to tell your opers not to join such channels of which
all the users would be autokilled after an AKILL #chan command
for example :-)
