[Rspamd-Users] symbol insertion issue: unknown symbol

[Philip Paeps]

We apply a ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN symbol to mail we want signed and check for 
it in rspamd.lua:

local.d/rspamd.lua:
-- Disable dkim signing for all the cases except specific ones
rspamd_config:add_condition("DKIM_SIGNED", function(task)
	return task:has_symbol('ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN')
end)

The symbol is defined in local.d/groups.conf:

local.d/groups.conf
symbol "ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN" {
     score = 0.0;
     weight = 0.0;
     name = "ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN";
     description = "Allow DKIM signing";
}

In local.d/settings.conf we set the symbol.  E.g.:

bugzilla_outbound {
         from = '/^bugzilla-noreply at freebsd.org$/i';
         ip = ["2610:1c1:1:606c::19:3"];
         apply { symbols_enabled = ["DKIM_SIGNED", "ARC_SIGNED", 
"ARC_CALLBACK" ] };
         symbols = ["ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN"];
         priority = low;
}


I upgraded from rspamd-3.11.0 to rspamd-4.1.0_1 this morning (yes yes 
... big jump) and we are now seeing this in our logs:

/var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log:2026-09-09 00:26:19 #42979(rspamd_proxy) 
<4hfhSC>; proxy; lua_task_insert_result_common: symbol insertion issue: 
unknown symbol ALLOW_DKIM_SIGN; trace: 
[1]:{/usr/local/share/rspamd/plugins/settings.lua:422 - fun [Lua]};

[4]:{/usr/local/share/rspamd/plugins/settings.lua:421 - <unknown> 
[Lua]};

Curiously, mail seems to be signed that we don't expect to see signed.  
I guess that's better than not signing email that ought to be signed but 
... still not ideal.

Could someone please gently hit me with a clue mallet?

Thank you. :)
