I’ve tried giving screenshots of phishing emails to a local Qwen instance and so far it always correctly detected it as scam, even points out the exact elements that it based its judgement on. Sending screenshots to it ad-hoc isn’t too scalable for family and friends. I’d like to be able to either forward emails for screening, or perhaps have it screen everything from a mailbox.
Has anyone done anything like this? Is there anything self-hostable that does this?


LLM plugins should be available in standard spamfilters like Rspamd. Some mail servers like Stalwart have it as well. You pick a prompt and provide it with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and it’ll ask the AI for every mail. Can be a local model.
Not sure if it’s in the Email clients as well. I found a few Thunderbird addons, but that was just a quick Google search.
