There was also an article in the Washington Post about this.  The mail
processing scheme was done by SRA, based on a scheme SRA had developed for
an intelligence agency to allow email out of a classified network.  If you
look at www.sra.com, you can find information by searching for "Assentor".

I read about this technology, but am in no way associated with SRA.
