Assuming the MTA doesn't tell you (I think most of them do), you can do
something like:

$ sudo lsof -i :25
COMMAND   PID    USER   FD   TYPE    DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
master   2134    root   11u  IPv4      5054       TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)
smtpd   21230 postfix    6u  IPv4      5054       TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)
smtpd   21231 postfix    6u  IPv4      5054       TCP *:smtp (LISTEN)
[...]

and find out what process is listening on port 25, in this case, postfix.
