No, any network aware program could probably be a server application.  If 
such a program runs on a local machine, it might use a network loopback or 
similar mechanism provided by the operating system.  Mail programs can send 
mail to themselves, for example.

This would be considered specific to each application.  If you ran the 
necessary mail hosting programs on your NT machine (such as Microsoft 
Exchange), it would be a mail server.  If you ran the necessary database 
programs on your NT machine (such as Microsoft SQL Server), it would be a 
database server.
