I think `bmf` that Francesco referenced may be
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bmf/.

Many mail admins similarly use https://rspamd.com/ for a more centralized
and comprehensive set of spam filtering and email security capabilities,
typically at the MTA level. I've also never found a need to apply a LLM to
use cases like this.
