In addition to copying the init script to /etc/rc.d/initd, you also 
need to copy the mimedefang-sysconfig file to 
/etc/sysconfig/mimedefang, and edit the file to reflect your local 
configuration.

I was able to exactly replicate the error message you received by 
temporarily renaming my copy of /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang.

(I'm running MD on three different RH 6.2 boxes.)

HTH!
