New submitter d4nimal writes: Intel today announced that it is killing the MX Logic/McAfee/Intel Security spam protection service (PDF). The last date of service is January, 2017. This comes on the heels of numerous outages and a general rise in user and admin dissatisfaction. Intel purchased the service as part of its McAfee acquisition in 2010. MX Logic was bought by McAfee less than a year earlier.

Intel owning McAfee made as much sense as a firearms company buying a blood substitute firm.
Oddly enough, I can see the direct link between firearms and the market for blood substitutes, what with the bleeding which follows shooting.
