I'm not entirely up to speed on maildir, so the "cur" may be wrong,
but what about a cron job doing something like this? (Assuming bash.)

        for msg in mailbox/cur/*
        do
          cat mailbox/cur/${msg} | sa-larn --ham
        done

This could be run often, even every few minutes if you like, and the 
"mailbox" part could even be a separate loop, like so:

        for mailbox in mb1 mb2 mb3 ...
        do
          for msg ...
          do
            cat ...
          done
        done

That would seem to me at least to do the trick. I'm sure if you want
to get really fancy you could even write something to parse your mutt
configuration files and extract a list of mailboxes from there.
