Ho hum... I think it has already been stated a mail server is a defined
as machine with a capability to deliver to and accept e-Mail from other
machines using SMTP, and that using SMTP internally to transmit
operational information does not make the machine a mail server!!!.  (In
the same way that accessing a html document stored locally on a machine
with a Web Browser does not make that machine a web server.!!!!)  Logic
101 methinks....
