This paper is a continuation of a project to determine which skew polynomial algebras $S = R[\theta; \alpha]$ satisfy property
$(\diamond)$, namely that the injective hull of every simple S-module is locally Artinian, where k is a field, R is a commutative Noetherian k-algebra and α is a k-algebra automorphism of R. Earlier work (which we review) and further analysis done here lead us to focus on the case where S is a primitive domain and R has Krull dimension 1 and contains an uncountable field. Then we show first that if
$|\mathrm{Spec}(R)|$ is infinite then S does not satisfy
$(\diamond)$. Secondly, we show that when
$R = k[X]_{ \lt X \gt }$ and
$\alpha (X) = qX$ where
$q \in k \setminus \{0\}$ is not a root of unity then S does not satisfy
$(\diamond)$. This is in complete contrast to our earlier result that, when
$R = k[[X]]$ and α is an arbitrary k-algebra automorphism of infinite order, S satisfies
$(\diamond)$. A number of open questions are stated.
