Specify the source for your recipients and the precise steps by which you
are sending the fax.

You omitted the most important part.
How are you selecting the recipient? The fact that each Contact shows both
an email and a fax address is normal. Select only the fax address.

Windows XP Fax and Outlook were not designed for broadcast faxing. You
should use third party software for that. The only other alternative is to
create a separate Contact Folder for fax recipients.

You should be able to arrange recipients in the address book the Fax Wizard
uses. Are you using Outlook?

Create a separate Contacts Folder for Fax recipients and show that folder in
the Outlook Address Book.
