I think you mean the same transport, and no, there is no way to disable
that. Any pipe that is receiving mail must be capable of interlocking
against multiple incarnations of itself if necessary.

If you set suffix="-l" on a director, then that director is run only
when the incoming local part contains the given suffix, unless you also
set suffix_optional. For example, if your alias file contains

alias1: something...
alias2: something else...

and you set suffix="-l" on the aliasfile director, then the incoming
addresses must be of the form alias1-l and alias2-l in order to match
this director.
