Office 365 -Exchange 2003 issue – NDR 5.4.6 Routing Loop

I had this problem with one of my office 365  costumers  when i tried to send emails from on premises mailbox to the cloud and got this NDR:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject:    test from on premises 4
Sent:    2/27/2013 7:10 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

  i386 user1 on 2/27/2013 7:10 PM
A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.  Contact your administrator.
<exh2003.domain.com #5.4.6>

Solution:

First I created on the  Exchange 2003 server  an SMTP connector that will route any mail destined for *.mail.onmicrosoft.com to the hybrid Exchange 2010 server

Then I changed the tenantID.mail.onmicrosoft.com SMTP address space to Internal Relay instead of Authoritative Exchange 2003 will send the message  through the Exchange 2010 server using the TLS secured connection.

Good luck!
