DECnet is a product.  What you mean is DEC's internal network which
happens to be DECnet based.  (This is commonly referred to as the Enet
for EasyNet -- formerly Engineering Net.)

In general a gateway from UUCP to another network should handle From_
lines in the form host.domain!user.  So, in your examples, you would
send mail to ...!seismo!host.arpa!user or ...!decuac!node.DEC.COM!user
(for an address someone gave you as node::user)

The inverse should work, although they have to use their own (in some
cases convuluted) addressing.  So from inside DEC one might write to
you as decuac::"sandyb@marque.UUCP" or
