sockstat -4l | grep 25

will tell you what is running on port 25 (default smtp port).
Also /var/log/maillog maybe be useful along with /var/log/messages.

Daemontools can be found out by:

cd /usr/ports && make search name=daemontools

if you have installed ports tree. When I tried, I didn't have
installation problem. It was very smooth through ports. It took time
for me to configure it.
