Assuming the line you give above is what is really in your mailertable
file, your problem would appear to be one of whitespace.
Put some space between the parts so it reads something like:
mcgeecorp.com SMTP:[192.168.0.6]
BTW: if you're relaying for an entire domain, then you might want to put
a dot (.) in front of mcgeecorp.com. See the README in the cf directory
for details.
