How is sending by AOL decentralised?

For the record, XMPP is a decentralised/federated system in the same way 
as email. If I have an account juliet@montague.org and I send a message 
to romeo@capulet.net, then that message can pass from my client machine, 
to my XMPP server (xmpp.mongague.org) to the recipient's server 
(megahost.verona.gov) and thence to the recipient's client. There is no 
single, central authority who knows all of the clients. There is no 
single point of failure. There is also the freedom for people to run 
their own servers (as juliet does) or to use the servers of some other 
organisation (i.e. "Cloud", as romeo does).

Can I create an AOL server on my own machine?
