Please explain what you mean then by "we encrypt mail between us and this
other org" and how it relates to your question.
If you have one Exchange organization, installing a new hub transport server
should not affect your Exchange 2003 mail routing. When you're ready to
switch the outbound mail routing through the hub transport server, simply
create a send connector for the * address space. Change the address space
of your Exchange 2003 SMTP Connector to something unroutable like
"clownpenis.fart" and after routing recalculates verify that all mail is
passing through the hub transport server. After you're comfortable that
mail flow is working, you can remove the Exchange 2003 SMTP Connector.
For inbound mail, all you do is change your MX records, firewall, NAT or
whatever it is that directs the inbound mail to the Exchange server to point
to the new hub transport server.
