    Simple, tell your friend to adjust the dns for your email to be delivered to your IP address.

    That can only be if you have control of the DNS server.

    If you tell your friend to change the IP address for the MX record, that's all it takes to get email to travel to your IP address.

    You have control of your email...

    Sure, you can run your own DNS server. Then it's all in your hands...
