Sending email via a Domino api

Currently we have 5 AS/400's or iSeries. All of them have Domino loaded
and running. We know how to use QtmmSendMail and various wrappers for it.
However, we want to send mail directly via Domino from other iSeries
native applications. Apparently on some of our iSeries we do not allow
native SMTP and only allow Domino. We know how to turn that on but the
powers that be won't allow it.

I hear that the HiTest api's are deprecated and will be phased out.
Staying at an older version of Domino and holding my breath until I pass
out or Lotus fixes this is not an option. We like to stay current.

Some people have suggested purchasing some additional software to give you
some nifty call to their software. It's been my experience that all of
these packages use the deprecated API's.

1) At what version of Domino will the api's stop working?

2) If the api's will continue to work indefinitely, how do I find out more
about them?

3) I hear tell about a library called RNHLIB which is supposed to make
this api's a snap. Trying to find this library results in broken links or
pages that don't work.

4) If the api's are truly deprecated, what is the alternative offered by
IBM?
