So I tried sending several different formats:

epub:
Immediate email response:
"The following document, sent at 03:20 AM on Fri, Dec 18, 2015 GMT could not be delivered to the Kindle you specified: * XXX.epub"

So I used the Kindle Previewer to convert the epub, then split it into an azw3 and a mobi using KindleUnpack. I was hoping that I could just send the kf8 format, since the formatting in the kf7 version was a bit off

But XXX.azw3 or the same file renamed as XXX.mobi also were rejected. I don't know if the latter would have been delivered if my friend had a newer Kindle.
The omnibus XXX.mobi containing both formats worked. I'm pretty sure the dumbed down kf7 mobi would also work.

So, no backdoor conversions via email then.
