How do you email DEC employees? (person@machine.enet.dec.com)

I have some friends that work at DEC who have given me email addresses
("person@machine.enet.dec.com"), but my school machine always responds
with "host not known" when I try and email or finger them.
Is there some special way to get through to "enet"?
Is there a special address format I'm not using?
(Don't flame, I'm still learning this stuff).
Thanks, -Mike (grusin@rintintin.colorado.edu)

You can't finger nodes with .enet.dec.com 'cause they're probably
hidden by DEC SEAL or not directly on the "world" Internet at all.
You probably can't email them 'cause your mailer setup doesn't
understand MX records. I'd inform your systems administrator if this
is the case.
