Assuming "110fe7cfe-5242-9f26-a6dc-17852bfbf675" is the UUID to the object in question...

It may just be the troubles SL has been having lately - I get that message occasionally too on objects that have been working fine to that point, and do again a bit later.

Try making a new prim and seeing if that eliviates it. Double check the UUID, too.

110fe7cfe-5242-9f26-a6dc-17852bfbf675" is the UUID to the object in question, yes.

i tryed a lot of times with differents objects.
always checking and rechecking the keys.

what im trying to do is this:

object A: send a email to a gmail account.(this work, im getting the emails from the obj)

gmail account: automatic forward to object b.

object b: email receiver.


i also tryed:

object A: (sender and receiver) send a email to a gmail account.

gmail account: automatic forward to object A.

object A: email receiver.


neither of those worked.


////
i tryed too:

object A: send a email to a gmail account.

gmail account: forward and reply by clicking manually the buttons of forward and reply to object A.

object b: email receiver.


and...


object A: (sender and receiver) send a email to a gmail account.

gmail account: forward and reply manually.

object A: email receiver.


and in this 4 cases worked perfectly!


****
finally i tryed:

object A: send email to object B (without gmail acount).

this worked too.


////
Seems like there is a problem with the auto forward. Maybe a security filter?

I tryed it with a yahoo acount too, with the same results.

Also I set the auto forward to my personal email acount, to check if there was something weird in the fowarded email, and there is nothing weird, just a clean email, like if it was sent to my personal acount and not to the acount im using for this.

tyvm!!!

objdns is not taking new registrations now, but the information still applies. Basically, Second Life relies on the recipient address on the message envelope, and not the address it is actually delivered to. So, when it's forwarded from gmail, it's kind of like sending it to the gmail address and BCC'ing the object, and SL has no idea where it's supposed to go.

As it turns out, this is a bad idea anyway, because external emails have to get routed back into SL through a single server which fails pretty frequently, and support is completely impossible to get. Recently the email server was refusing/hanging connections for nearly 10 days and I didn't get a response to my support request until a month later (with the 'high priority' concierge-level support). It is a much better idea to use something like httpdb ( http://w-hat.com/httpdb ) or a file on your own web host to fetch the target object's key with llHTTPRequest, and email it from the object directly - this avoids the broken incoming mail server, and possibly the email system entirely.
