Is that DEC's internal network?  If so...

#F internet
#T easynet
#R HOST::USER
#C admin@decwrl.dec.com
#I send to "user@host.enet.dec.com" or "user%host.enet@decwrl.dec.com"

If you're talking about Easynet, then somebody else already answered
your question. If you're really talking decnet, then you should know
that decnet is a protocol rather than a network, and there are lots of
completely separate decnet networks around the country. usually to get
to one of them you route mail through a specific host which knows what
you're talking about and will serve as a gateway to the right decnet,
for example:

   NOBODY%NOWHERE.DECNET@any-dept.any-u.edu

The gateway host will have its routing tables set up so that it
understands the ".DECNET" pseudo domain as pointing to the known decnet
network, a.k.a. local area vax cluster.

hey ho,
