## About

Anti-spam and threat intelligence provider whose DNS blocklists and data feeds are used by mail servers and security tools to filter spam and malicious traffic

## Activity summary

## Community reports

- 2026-08-31 — Investigated. Community testing found Spamhaus restricted for users in Syria. The customer portal loads normally and the free DQS registration form renders in full, but the page returns a notice stating that Spamhaus does not conduct business with customers or entities located in Russia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria, and that access to trial its data will not be granted. The site itself is not geo-blocked and no CDN or firewall block page was involved; the refusal is a stated company policy applied at account registration.

## 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.
