The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Google did this with @gmail.com addresses a couple of years ago and, as
Brad Stone predicted at the time, they are now doing it for google
workspace users.
We are HEAVY users of ESEND (Fortra, formerly HelpSystems) which uses the
IBM i SMTP server to send hundreds of emails a day for us via gmail SMTP
relay. I assume this will affect that relay, though I don't know that
for a fact. The time is short enough that I could not begin to do
something else.
I contacted Fortra/HelpSystems a couple of years ago when it first happened
to the @gmail.com addresses and they told me to contact IBM. Yea, right.
Years ago (before we figured out how to use outbound port 587 on the IBM i
SMTP server) we used a program on a local Windows system to perform the
relay into gmail. The IBM i pointed all email to this system which
then sent it to google. That software was cleverly named Email Server and
no longer exists.
Suggestions? Is there a relay service out there I could use? I would
prefer that as opposed to installing something on a local desktop. Or
(best case scenario) something installed on the IBM I itself to perform the
relay from the IBM i SMTP server.
Thanks.
