One of my clients has this anoying problem ( for him anyway)

When I open his contacts there is only one Entry for each contact
but when I create a new message then click To: I see sometimes 2 or 3
for the same person with the same email address. Now I know this
happens if you have an entry for Business Fax but most of these don't
have an entry for it.
 
Then they have some other electronic address.
Outlook considers all fax and pager numbers to be valid electronic
addresses, since there
are many client- and server-based components that can use such addresses.

One method to hide fax numbers from the address book is to prefix the fax
number with one or more letters (maybe B for business fax, H for home, O for
other). If the fax number begins with a letter, Outlook won't show it in the
address book.

There are a couple of utilities that can help you hide fax numbers from the
address book. See http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/rshifa.htm and
http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook_Solutions.htm (Hide Fax Numbers).

Another way to avoid having fax numbers appear in the address book is
simply not to enter data in the fax fields. Put fax numbers in some other
(non-phone) fields.
