Those aren't temp files, those are quarantined messages or message parts 
(qdir = quarantine dir).  MIMEDefang assumes that you'll want to look 
through them at a later date, and so it leaves them around.

Someone posted a script a while back that would clean up anything older 
than a certain age.  Another suggestion was to use tmpwatch on 
/var/spool/MIMEdefang/

Another solution, of course, is to discard messages and drop parts instead 
of quarantining them (if you *really* trust your filter not to drop 
anything important).

Note also that newer versions of MD use a different default location for 
quarantined messages.
