Newbie : What is http://schemas.microsoft.com all about?

[aruntechie123]

Hello All,
While sending mail from VBA, I use "http://schemas.microsoft.com/..." to
specify parameters such as smtp/port etc. This works fine.

I am concerned what "http://schemas.microsoft.com" means and what role does
it play in sending mail? i.e. Does my script contact microsoft.com in any way?
I am unable to find information on the web regards the same.
Please advise.

It's a naming scheme for properties. It has nothing to do with the
microsoft.com web site. See
