The 2stepback.dk Spam Block List was a private, paid IP-based blocklist (blacklist) operated by the now-defunct Danish ISP, 2stepback.dk, which had no clear delisting process.
The 2stepback.dk Spam Block List was a private, paid IP-based blacklist operated by the now-defunct Danish internet service provider, 2stepback.dk. Its technical zone was sbl.2stepback.dk. The service was designed as a collection of SBL (Spam Block List) databases that administrators could access to filter incoming email.
According to its policy, the blocklist was intended to be a commercial product, with access priced per database. A unique feature was its plan to offer country-specific blacklists, allowing users to block emails originating from specific countries by using their country codes (for example, RU for Russia). Since the company and its services are no longer active, this blacklist is considered defunct.
The 2stepback.dk Spam Block List was operated by 2stepback Inc., a Danish internet service provider (ISP). The company is now defunct and no longer in operation. During its time, 2stepback Inc. offered a range of services primarily targeting the Danish market. Their product offerings provided insight into their operations as a small, local ISP.
It is not possible to request removal or delisting from the 2stepback.dk Spam Block List because the service is defunct. The company that operated it, 2stepback Inc., has ceased operations, and the associated DNS servers and infrastructure are no longer active.
Even when the blacklist was operational, it was a private, pay-to-use service with no public or clear instructions provided for the delisting process. Senders who found themselves on this list had no straightforward path to removal.
The impact of being listed on the 2stepback.dk Spam Block List is effectively zero. Since the blacklist and the company behind it are defunct, no mail servers or email systems are actively using it to check for spam or filter emails. A listing on this particular blocklist will not affect your email deliverability.
