Exchange 2010 Migration - 2003 compatabillity issues
Hello,
I've been recently migrating from an exchange 2003 to 2010 system, currently running in co-existence. I'm slowly moving my mailboxes over to the new 2010 box.
Every few days or so (maybe once a week) I have an issue where the SMTP connector or routing group between my old 2003 and new 2010 server seems to drop out. ANy email sent to a user on the new box, and organization either from outside the organization or from the old server, the messages end up in a queue as unreachable.
I end up needing to reboot the new server and everything come sup just fine. I attempted to restart the information store service, but it just hangs.

Backpressure events... What\where do these show up?
As for the queuing, it's both internal and external - currently we are still setup where my 2003 box is living on the front end and routes the incoming emails to the 2010. I have about 15% of my users mailboxes living on the 2010 server. Emails between those on the same server were OK, but if a user with a mailbox on the 2003 server sent a message to a user on 2010, it'd get queued. Same with external emails.

Check if you are getting these warnings on the 2010 server

Check whether you have multiple routing group connectors created for the mail routing between these two servers.
Remove all if any, and then create the RGC manually by following the steps below:
New-RoutingGroupConnector -Name “RGC 2003-2010¿ -SourceTransportServers “exchange2010server.yourdo
Do you have any third party mail gateway or proxy servers installed on any of the boxes like Mail Marshal?

Not really anything in regards to back pressure that I can find - we've got plenty of disk space and we're running about 45% RAM utilization (10.5GB of 24GB). I am seeing a few events for the transport:

No third party gateways or proxies, but I'll loo at the routing group connectors
Also are these only internal messages that are queuing up?
