JP,

Actually, I think you'll find that ASSP is correct....

Msn.com does, as you say, contain multiple MX records, and each of these
records resolves to multiple IP addresses (BTW, this is very common for
large mail systems - provides fault tolerance and redundancy...)

However, none of these records point to the server that sent the message
(65.55.111.155) - that's why the test is failing...
