Something is deleting the directory (see the ionotify log lebow).  It's not
in mimedefang-filter:
[root at relay spool]# cat /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter |grep -e unlink -e
rmdir -e 'rm -f' -e 'rm -r'
[root at relay spool]#

I stopped cron
[root at relay spool]# service crond stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop crond.service
