That's only because Outlook (in common with most other such 
applications) is designed that way - which means that you send just one 
communication to the ISP's server, which does all the exploding into 
multiple destinations, MX record looking up for you, the 
queuing/retrying when the destination is unreachable, returning bounce 
messages and so on [all of which is quite handy if you are on an 
occasionally connected, or bandwidth restricted, connection]. But the 
port number's the same.
