Summary: DSPAM broken after upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.1

Initial Comment:
After PostgreSQL 9.1 has hit Debian/testing DSPAM fails to insert data into the 
table 'dspam_signature_data' (see attached sql_erros.txt). After digging around 
in the source code I have seen the function 'PQescapeByteaConn' (pgsql_drv.c 
line 1574) is used to escape the data. Unfortunately with PostgreSQL 9.1 the 
default from the setting 'standard_conforming_strings' has changed from 'off' 
to 'on'. Please read the following thread as I am not an expert in 
C-Programming nor in PostgreSQL: 
http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/PQescapeByteaConn-returns-wrong-string-for-PG9-1-Beta3-td4667713.html

I can confirm that DSPAM is working again if I set 'standard_conforming_strings 
= off' in my postgresql.conf. But since the new default for PostgreSQL 9.1 is 
'standard_conforming_strings = on' this should be considered in pgsql_drv.c.

Message:
I got warnings with this fix and standard_conforming_strings to off and
this resulted in DSPAM returning with a non-zero exit code and mail
delivery failure. Maybe seeting escape_string_warning to off would help, as
it warns if any backslash is found in the string, even if doubled.
As i can now switch standard_conforming_strings to on, i just did, then i
should be able to ping this bug if the fix is not enough.

Hi Stevan,

so far I have used the Debian packages from Julien Valroff
(http://www.kirya.net/) which are available from the official Debian
Backports repository. I will try to compile the pgsql part and the if
problem still exists.

Regards,

Ingo

Hello Ingo, can you try latest GIT version of DSPAM and tell me if the
problem still exists there?
