I don't think qmail-smtpd is listening on any socket, but rather on on stdin. So you could start qmail-smtpd from the command line and start typing your SMTP session. The normal way to run qmail-smtd is by way of tcpserver. This program will listen on any socket and start any program on connect and redirect the connection to the server's stdin, although inetd should work also.
