I have installed my IIS in a new machine and I have an existing SMTP in another machine. How can you configure IIS to use the SMTP installed in another machine? Thanks.

This does not give enough information for an exact answer, however:

SMTP server needs to be set to allow relay from IIS server. All code for sending SMTP messages should reference the SMTP server rather than the local server (assumed using ASPFreemail, postie or similar)

In IIS - properties of SMTP Site - Delivery Tab, there's a Smart Host option. This will forward all your outbound mail to that server (expect mail within the FQDN specified for that IIS box). So on your NEW IIS box have SmartHost = ExistingSMTPServer.Domain.Com and have it's FQDN = dummy.Domain.Com ... then clients connected to new-IIS will have all mail forwarded to ExistingSMTPServer, unless the RCPT is user@dummy.domain.com.
