An IRS government contractor is responsible for disaster recovery and the ability to recover emails. Find out who that was and initiate an Inspector General investigation into them for malicious breach of contract and fraud. They will squeal.

Time for us to get busy then. The information is out there because the Gov. loves paper work. We just need to dig.

ETE Enterprises says this:

We have worked on a variety of high profile projects for the U.S. Government over the past nine years including:

• STIR (Disaster Recovery planning, IT Security Policy/Testing , Architecture, Windows Active directory deployment and migration, ID and Access management (IDAM )design and support, Certificate Management (digital signatures), IBM Rational Suite Support for source code control, requirements, trouble tickets (help desk) etc)
• Subject Matter Expert (SME) services for IRS Modernized Tivoli and CA security Suite of Products (SiteMinder, LDAP, Access Management)
• System Engineering support to IRS Modernization effort (Architecture, Enterprise Life Cycle (ELC) compliance etc.)
• Technology Refresh across the IRS Modernized MITS 27 environment

Don't know the recency of their work but I'm pretty sure they're still in the IRS contracting game. Somewhere I read the IRS spent $2 Billion on IT so it could be a different division.
