Exchange Server 2003 uses Routing Groups to determine the proper way to route messages while Exchange Server 2010 uses Active Directory sites for routing. These are not compatible with each other so a legacy Routing Group Connector will be created within Exchange Server 2010. This legacy connector connects Exchange Server 2010 with Exchange Server 2003 so messages can be sent between the two Exchange versions.
During setup of the first Hub Transport Server an Exchange 2003 Server needs to be selected, did you select it?
On the default receive connector, did you check the anonumous option to receive email?
Also check your smtp connector setting on exchange server 2003..

Thanks Brother for the reply .I inherited this mess dont know about the connector on exchnage 2003 .I checked the cooneted on the exchange 2003 its normal .One thing i noticed on the exchange 2010 logs .It still thinks our old domain controller is acctive and its looking for it .I think everytime we send outbound emails its hits the old exchnage 2003 then exchnge 2010 and then it goes outside .is there a way we can chat that would be great ful .

During your upgrade from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 you will move outbound Internet mail flow from Exchange 2003 to 2010. If you are not using an Edge Transport server, then you must create at least one Send connector configured with the appropriate address space
You can use the New Send Connector wizard in the Exchange Management Console (Under Organistaion Configuration-->Hub Transport-->Send Connectors)to perform this procedure.
select how to send e-mail with the Send connector.Either through DNS or forward through smart host.
I do not have any means where we can chat... Sorry

I beleive you need to check on HUB transport settings as this role is only responsible for all your inbbound / Outbound mail flow. No other role is responsible Also check your Exchange 2003 Routing group connector.Check the participating members.Do you find your exchange 2010 servers listed on this Routing group connector.
Keep us posted with your findings

Transferred 1/12/2012 8:53 AM hbhcah01.hamdomain.dubai The message was transferred from hbhcah01.hamdomain.dubai to server Mail.HAMDOMAIN.DUBAI, which has an older version of the email system. This is the farthest that the message can be tracked.
