Migration Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010: 421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError

Exchange 2010 cannot send mails to Exchange 2003 if it is not authorized to do so. In this case, the queue of the routing group fills up with the following error:

451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: "421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError."

The problem can be solved by allowing the IP address of the Exchange 2010 server on the Exchange 2003 server:

Socket error

As soon as the IP has been entered, the Exchange 2010 queue should empty and the messages should be delivered.
