So is it true that an object can receive but not respond when using XML-RPC? I thought I'd read this not too long ago.

A script CAN respond to an XML-RPC request coming from off-world. A script CANNOT *originate* a new XML-RPC request to an XML-RPC server off-world.

Not yet, anyway.

People get around this by sending the *request* out via email, and then have the server *respond* by sending the scripted object an XML-RPC *request*. Confused yet?

I was considering the email method , but thought it'd be easier if I didn't need to go that route. Thanks for the quick answer to my post :)

Not when the mail server's sick, they don't.

When that happens, people are just screwed if they want/need to store data off-world, or move some logic off-world.
