The 5.1.x line extremely old now, and the code has
changed a lot since then.  (So Mike's suggestion of
disableAuthorization isn't actually relevant here).

Checking the old code, the most likely cause is
probably the /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} settings on
the receiving system.   This is probably only
configured to accept traps from "localhost",
and not from other systems.

But you should probably think about upgrading to
a more recent (supported) version of the code.
