The problem mentioned above is about phishing. It is a significant problem as the consumer ends up losing money or jeopardizing their personal safety. One of the alternatives to track the source of the unwanted message is to have some body, e.g. government, the service provider, keep a log of all mail transactions. The body would then be able to track a message which was sent yesterday, last month, last year, etc. I think that there might be some privacy implications when logging that information. It is not a technical matter though.<br>

The activity is likely more difficult to track when it occurs as a cross-border activity. I gather that is what people consider as the internet policy angle. There is a draft convention for a part of the world which covers the above problem (see <a href="http://au.int/en/sites/default/files/AU%20Convention%20EN.%20%283-9-2012%29%20clean_0.pdf" target="_blank">http://au.int/en/sites/<u></u>default/files/AU%20Convention%<u></u>20EN.%20%283-9-2012%29%<u></u>20clean_0.pdf</a> ). The internet policy for problems such as the one mentioned above might be to turn that draft into legislation.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>A draft which is still largely controversial [1,2] with moves against implementation draft of the draft at its current state [3]. We can only look forward to the outcome of the AU meeting this month where it is expected to be ratified[4].<br>
