Hello.

I have a spammer on my network who uses colors multiple times in his message.

I would like to know if it is possible to make a spamfilter regexp that is triggered if someone uses more than, let's say, 3 colors characters in a message.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no it isn't due to the fact formatting characters are stripped from the message before the message is matched against spamfilters. The reason for this is so spammers cannot use colours and formatting to evade spamfilters.
