A question (re popOver-procmail-formail-appnmail) of error messages and lockfiles

The following is a sample of error messages I've been getting. I don't think I am actually losing any mail, but I am gaining duplicate mail in my /tmp directory. I would be grateful for some pointers where to look for problems.
TOC of my situation:
* I use a csh script to call popOver to get mail off POP3 server and route it into procmailrc (#1 below)
* I have an /etc/procmailrc which is linked to my ~/.procmailrc (#2 below)
* A representative sample of the error messages I receive in my "from" file (#3 below)
* Mail filenames that I'm finding a lot of in /tmp (#4 below)
Thanks very much in advance, tho not too much in advance 8-)
#1) Begin csh script to run popOver and then process through procmail =================
#!/bin/csh -f
/bin/rm -rf /tmp/mail/* && /bin/rm -rf /tmp/mail
mkdirs /tmp/mail/
popOver
if (( -f /tmp/mail/reichman )) then
chmod 755 /tmp/mail
formail -s procmail -m /Users/reichman/.procmailrc < /tmp/mail/reichman
endif
========End csh script =========================================================
#2) Begin procmailrc ============================================================
# A sample small $HOME/.procmailrc:
# need to add a script to clean up the LOGFILE
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
