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?

OP if you don't mind running this through a Hermes / OpenClaw harness this is probably the easiest way with pre built email connectors. Also if you don't mind spending a few bucks a month DeepSeek v4 will blow out anything you run locally for pennies (or gpt luna as of last wed.)

It can also set up its own custom connector if needed and run as needed via CRON.
