Indeed most email servers running on UNIX and Linux aren't one-way mail servers as much as mail transport agents -- MTA, for short -- which send, receive, and pass along emails as appropriate.
You can't just send an email "to the server", though, all email uses email addresses.
You used to be able to specify manual routing for email, in fact had to, but this was in the deep dark days before DNS.
