That is because the list is processed from left to right, and processing
stops as soon as a suffix matches. It will turn that address into
local_part = user-some
suffix = .thing-else
If you had defined the suffix list the other way round it would have
turned it into
local_part = user
suffix = -some.thing-else
I'm afraid that's just the way suffixes work.
