As I don't have any RPI to test out on, I can't say if the debian packages for arm64/armel/armhf works, but there's no bug reports reporting that it crashes? If those packages doesn't float your boat (or the rspamd developers boats), builing it on your own[0] should be fully doable. Either directly on the RPI or cross compiling on a different computer (beware, hyperscan only works on i386/amd64, so your performance may not be the best)..

The reason for not supporting the distro-provided packages, is mostly because distros tend to make changes and backport things from newer versions. Bugs in distro-provided packages should be reported to the distro, not rspamd (from a user standpoint, the package maintainers of that distro can and may bring the issue to the source if they wish). This goes for most projects.
