Is there a free antispam database?

Wordpress has a spam filtering plugin called Akismet, which seems to be able to classify any block of text as spam or not. The only caveat is that you need to go through the interface and their database / algorithm is not open or accessible to other users.

There are also commercial providers that provide an API available on the Internet so that you can categorize emails, comments, or any other text sent by users in your web application.

Is there any open or freely accessible database that can classify a block of text as spam / non-spam?

Edit: Here is a clearer explanation of what I want

Basically, I hoped that there was an extensive database with the probability of certain phrases appearing. Since (I guess) spammers spam all email addresses the same way, pre-populating my Bayesian spam filter with this database, I could create an application that starts by capturing most spam without any user training.

Comment based update:

I do not think that a simple database will do the trick. Most spam is generated algorithmically (for example, comment spam usually includes content from the message). Akismet does a combination of things, possibly including link analysis and the use of well-known spam signatures, but they do not publish it.

Perhaps this is a completely dead question - however, check this out: http://www.stopforumspam.com Use their APIs to check the IP address or enter a username or email in relation to their database. But I advise you to use cURL with this timeout parameter - the service may or may not reach you from time to time.
