That is indeed the easy solution, but the constraints and the command
are a bit different.  I believe that somewhere along that path the
file must be no more than 50000 bytes.  Also, mailing directly to files
does (or at least should) not work that way, for security reasons; use

	mail aplcen!umcp-cs!seismo!rochester!ur-tut!jdia

and use your mail reader to save it to a file.

Neither umcp-cs nor seismo run System V.
