A copy of the email:

The error is saying that the email server does not accept messages shorter than 2 bytes.

This happens every time I try and post to any of the lists.

I've already contacted pair.com and they said that they can not help because they do not run the php listservs.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy

I do all kinds of bit mask suff in my code. I've been doing it back since
version 3 _and_ ever since I've been doing it, I've never once had a
problem.

Your example:
(2 & 10)
works for me (my example)

  print (2 & 10). "\n";

It prints 2.

Most likely, you are missing something else in your code.  You might want
to double check something.

You might want to _echo_ your SQL queries out.  That is the most probable
place that something is haywire.

So, to answer your question (am I missing something)?. No, you are not.
:)

Hope this helps.
Jeremy
