Since various open source projects are able to do it I was
hoping that someone would have those requirements.

The question is: Who are the users? My impression is that
many users here are end users (meaning: people not running
the filter for several users, but only for themselves). This
user group often uses Windows and does not have access to
its mail server. So they cannot use Bogofilter. Not even
those who have a local (Windows) mail server as included in
the pretty popular Hamster package could run Bogofilter.
