You can try
whereis smtpd
to find out where it was installed on your system
for example i did 
[dean at fujioka dean]$ whereis xcdroast
xcdroast: /usr/bin/xcdroast /etc/xcdroast.conf /usr/man/man1/xcdroast.1.gz
[dean at fujioka dean]$

* you can then either type in the entire path /usr/bin/xcdroast
or cd /usr/bin
./xcdroast 
as ben said.
* replace xcdroast with smtpd start ;)
