Faxploit: Sending Fax Back to the Dark Ages
You can run inbound and outbound SMTP servers yourself, and send email with no forwarding. Nobody does this, but the protocols support it fine.

The official protocols do support this, true, but nearly all of the major email service providers (e.g., Gmail, etc) will assume your email is spam if you send it from your own random mail server.

They're intermediaries. If you want to bypass intermediaries, to emulate a fax, it works fine.
