All inquiries are filtered by Global prior to delivery to Global members.  Most inquiries pass through our filter and arrive in our members email instantly.  The filtering system monitors select spam keywords and sends suspect inquiries to Global for monitoring before our listing members receive the suspect inquiry.  All inquiries may be monitored by Global staff members and offending email addresses and ISP's will be blocked from using Global.  Despite Global's filtering efforts, it is possible that some SPAM inquiries will be delivered anyway. It is also possible that some non-SPAM inquiries may not be delivered as a result of Global filtering efforts.
