It depends on how you call things...
Actually a SIP server can be
- a proxy (forwards messages)
- a registrar (accepts REGISTER requests)
- a redirection server (redirects calls)

More often SIP servers are a combination of proxy+registrar or 
registrar+redirection.

Actually for linphone a SIP proxy is a SIP server for which you define 
features:
- if "register" is toggled, it is supposed to be a registrar
- if the route field is set , it means that all requests should through the 
server specified by this route field: you are using an outbound proxy.
- if the route field is set to hostname of the proxy, then it means that this 
server itself is an "outbound proxy".

A bit complex, I agree.
