IRS contracted with email archiving company in 2005 By Thomas Lifson Is that a smoking gun I smell? It turns out the IRS contracted with a company that provides email backup services starting in 2005. This first came to light in the Twitter feed of moregenr, who noticed that the IRS appears on the client list of email archiving service provider Sonasoft. This was was picked up by Peter Suderman of Reason, who writes: The IRS had a contract with email backup service vendor Sonasoft starting in 2005, according to FedSpending.org, which lists the contract as being for "automatic data processing services." Sonasoft's motto is "email archiving done right," and the company lists the IRS as a customer. In 2009, Sonasoft even sent out a Tweet advertising its work for the IRS. The exact details of the service that Sonasoft provided to the IRS aren't clear. But the company advertises its email archiving solution as "ideal for small and medium businesses, government agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations using Microsoft’s Exchange Server." And a document posted on its website describing its services says that its system "archives all email content and so reduces the risk of non-compliance with legal, regulatory and other obligations to preserve critical business content."

>> were wiped out by forces unknown “about 10 days after the Camp letter arrived,” I am glad someone is making this point. They should have had backups for six months after that. No reason those data, which they had already been asked for, shouldn't have been available for six months thereafter on the backup. Even if she had archived to her local hard drive, it would have been to her profile which surely was being backed up by the server backup. We routinely do this in tiny businesses; I cannot imagine a professionally managed operation at IRS where it is mandated to maintain the data for prescribed periods would "overlooking" backups of user profiles. This really looks like an intended loss of data, probably with collusion.
