Email not working from Exchange 2010 to 2003
I have started a 2003 - 2010 Exchange migration. I have moved a handful of mailboxes to 2010, and now those mailboxes cannot email internally to those who still have mailboxes on 2003. The email sits in the SMTPRelaytoTiRg queue on the 2010 box. When I ran the Exchange Mail Flow troubleshooter, it reported "Remote server failed the mail acceptance test. BDAT command Respond=Remote socket is not available." I have checked everything I can think of, and can't figure out what is wrong. To make things weirder, earlier today the queue cleared out on its own and the mail was delivered. But now it is building back up again. Help!

Thanks for your input. I do have a routing connector that goes both ways which was automatically created when Exchange 2010 was created. And 2010 has a "read only" send connector from 2003, which I understand is normal until I'm ready to have 2010 start sending out the mail. But you think I need a different RGC than what is there? As a further note, four times now, hours apart but with no changes or interaction on my part, the queue spontaneously cleared and mail went out. Then the queue starts building up again... That makes me question whether it is a setting that is wrong (which I would think would be all or nothing..).

These were all correct solutions. In my case it was all set up correctly and it turned out to be a faulty network connection to the 2003 server that was causing the mail to back up. Everything is now on 2010 and the 2003 server is decommissioned. Thanks for the help!
