Good catch. This is actually a bug in the script as provided by the vendor,
so you might want to report this upstream as well.

One way to handled this (and in fact it would be preferred at this point)
would be to install this init-script in ${PREFIX}/libexec (perhaps as
mimedefang-init), and write a simple rc.d script that called that script at
boot. The example in the Porter's Handbook could be simplified and used in
this situation.
