How do I remove an old Exchange 2000 Server from showing up in my new 2003 domain? I've checked the obvious sites...HELP!

Situation:  I had a 2000 AD server with Exch 2000.  I (unknowingly unsuccessfully) removed the Exchange 2000 server installation prior to installing a 2003 server on the network.  I made the new 2003 server the primary and installed Exchange 2003 on it.  I then demoted the old 2000 server and removed it from the network.
Problem:  I still have the old 2000 server showing up in the system manager and it WAS the default SMTP server for the domain.  I cannot get rid of it since I cannot connect to it anymore.  I am now having problems sending mail.  All mail is stuck in the oubound queue and goes nowhere regardless of how many times I delete and recreate the default SMTP server and SMTP connector to reflect the new server.  I am lost and wondering if I need to start from scratch!

I have referred to article: KBA-260378 but can find nothing useful.

Thanks for any comments you may have.
