[Mimedefang] /etc/init.d/mimedefang

The /etc/init.d/mimedefang script checks for
/var/lock/subsys/mimedefang before trying to start or stop MIMEDefang.
 This is apparently not the approach that other /etc/init.d scripts
take, and it means that if MIMEDefang crashes for whatever reason,
/var/lock/subsys/mimedefang has to be manually removed before it can
be restarted.

Could the checks on /var/lock/subsys/mimedefang please be removed?
Here's a patch to do so and to also improve the tracking of return
values for both mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor a bit.

Thank you.
