The SMTP server that comes IIS is pretty crappy. Even if you wanted to use that - I wouldn't recommend that you use that because without proper registration and history it'll likely cause all of your emails to get blacklisted. These days emails are checked against whitelists and if your email server is brand new and not entered into the whitelist registries it's quite likely that many email accounts will refuse to accept them. I've long ago given up trying to send emails sent through my own local mail server.
It's better to use a known Email server - you can use the same server you used for development, or possibly create a GMAil, Outlook etc. account (although they will block you if you send to much email). Best is to use an email account that you already are using but again make sure you don't send too many emails or the account may be blocked.

Fantastic!
I installed all specified in your Help and run Server Setup perfectly. More I use Web Connection and more I am enthusiast.
Sorry, but I had not seen that section of the manual.
Everything looks good except for Smpt email.
I installed the Smtp Email feature. In IIS 7 Manager I see Default Web Site node and MyWebSite node.
On MyWebSite node I tried to configure Smtp E-mail (that I see in the ASP.NET side of features view), I see an Email address field and a Smtp Server field, but I do not understand what configure for the cMailServer parameter required from wwSmtp Class.
I tried to write, for example, TestServer in the field Smtp Server, but sending email I get the error:
-2 - Couldn't connect to server: TestServer
I tried also to follow this tutorial for IIS 6, I set cMailServer to 127.0.0.1 then I get no errors now, but there is no email sent:

Thank you very much again
You need to install the IIS Metabase compatibility for IIS in Windows Features... (or on a server SKU in Windows Server Roles for IIS). There's info in the help file on what you need:
