## About

Cloud email sending service for transactional and marketing messages

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in March 2026: the SES marketing page loads, but the AWS Console returns a 400 Access Restricted error for Syrian users, and Syria is missing from the sales contact form. The block has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-28 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon SES remains blocked in Syria. The commercial landing page at aws.amazon.com/ses loads successfully, but clicking "Get started with Amazon SES" redirects to console.aws.amazon.com/ses where AWS returns a 400 status code with "Access Restricted — Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services." The "Contact sales" button leads to a general contact form at aws.amazon.com/contact-us/sales-support where Syria is not listed in the country dropdown.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
