Sonasoft is getting threats.
On email, and over the phone, saying, according to company founder Andy Khanna, "Provide the emails!"
And that's the clean version.
Sonasoft is the company you may have read about online over the last couple of days, linked to the IRS email scandal. They had a contract to replicate emails for IRS lawyers through 2011. They even sent out a tweet reading, "The IRS uses Sonasoft to back up their servers, why wouldn't you choose them to protect your servers?"
But Sonasoft has not commented on the scandal - until now.
In an exclusive interview, Khanna says they did sell software to the IRS, specifically the lawyers.
"We as a company sell and install," Khanna said. "Then, it's 100 percent up to the customer to maintain data, backup data, and archive data."
In other words, he said, Sonasoft doesn't know where the emails are, or if they were even backed up.
That said, Sonasoft is skeptical that they could just be lost. I asked the company's Chief Technology Officer Bilal Ahmed, "Email doesn't just go away, right?" He replied, "It doesn't go away. If they were deleting or adding emails on the primary server, it will be replicated to the standby."
A bit geeky, yes, but also the company's belief that they're being scapegoated by the government. A government Khanna says they were working for, "because we believe we should serve our government."
What I heard is that within something like 10 days of the IRS scandal news the IRS suddenly cancelled their email backup contract with this company.
I heard that too.
Here’s some more on Sonasoft:

It’s the other way around, you idiot.
SONAS0FT ON GRETA VAN SUSTERAN IN A FEW MINUTES.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Crazy day and night it’s been and being!
Did you get that from the CEO of Sonasoft...The software and archive back up they sell would have had the e mails in archive on a server not tied to Lerner’s computer, as law requires....
HOWEVER the IRS attorneys bought the software only and not the ARCHIVE CAPTURING SERVER service, therefore there is NO E MAIL TRAIL. So was it intentional and illegal by attorneys not to have archives of the e mails, or stupidity? Maybe they were worried that e mails would be archived and that could be a liability.
All IRS attorneys and employees involved should go be prosecuted and go to prison. Ms Aragon was right that Lerner only had the software, however, that wasn’t legal. As was learned in latest questioning of IRS Commissioner.
I watched it. Why did they buy any software if they had no interest in backing up or archiving? Was it some sort of payback scheme for campaign contributions? Something smells rotten.
Kackikat, thanks for pinging me, but that must have been someone else. I haven’t posted about the IRS software...I’m not computer-smart enough to do so, LOL.
I will have to look back on my posts...I had a disagreement with someone on Sonasoft...thanks.
“because we believe we should serve our government.”
Especially when a liberal fascist is trying to overthrow it.
So for those of us who missed it because we just saw you note, tell us all about it.
Rotten...you got it, it was a pretend method of following the law without obligating their e mails to scrutiny I guess...I don’t know.
The CEO of Sonasoft was on Greta Van Susteran, so view my comment to which I just replied to you.... since it was you I disagreed with. I sent the comment to Aragon but it wasn’t her...so you were right about what they bought, but I was right that archiving was what Sonasoft offered for e mail archiving, but the IRS attorney s did not buy it. So Lerner did not comply with law.
I think it’s some sort of diversion, but from what I don’t know. Why would they cancel the contract? Sonasoft had no idea what the IRS did with the software, according to Khanna.
I think all those Silicon Valley computer nerds are insane.
That’s my point, they bought the software from Sonasoft, but no archiving of e mails that would have met the legal requirement...Why? It’s either incompetence or intentional?
