The most basic would be...

1) Check whether process is running

Code:
ps -ef | grep smtpd #whatever the process name

2) Check whether relay host is alive on port 25 ( The default smtp port)
Code:
telnet host 25

And proceed accordingly.. Off-course you can-not send alert mail for this. What includes in your monitoring?

Script is also a command ( set of commands) you just just put the above command in a file and run.

If you do want script like...
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
if [ "$(svcs -H -o STATE smtp)" = "online" ]; then 
 echo running
else
 echo not running
fi
