    There has been a mention or 2 on here I've seen. This forum is so busy that it' hard to find stuff sometime. MTA certs are entry level certs that not a lot of people here would probably recommend.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I actually would (& do) recommend them, maybe not to the experience IT Pro. But to the entry level and newly employed IT staff.

    I must have reading too many Linux/Unix books, my first thought: 'MTA? What does a Mail Transfer Agent have to do with Certifications?!'

    :D
    Future Plans:

    JNCIA Firewall
    CCNA:Security
    CCNP

    More security exams and then the world.

    I actually would for the newcomer just as I recommend the CompTIA 3 for newcomers. They wont carry a lot of weight on a resume though.

    IMO MCSE or MCITP can be achieved by beginners too if they put effort and study into it so why bother the money and the effort for entry level certs ?.

    I know that they say you should have at least one year of work with windows before you can study for them but who doesn't ?
