What if you put something like this before your other routers:

absorb_me_too:
condition = ${if eq{$sender_address}{$local_part@$domain}{if
eq{$original_local_part@$original_domain}{$local_part@$domain}{false}{true}}
}{false}}
data = :blackhole:

This is totally untested, you might need to tweak the brackets, and it might
not do what you want at all. Just an idea.

Basically, if the sender and recipient are the same address and the address
is not the result of an expansion, discard the message.

Also, have you looked at qualify_preserve_domain?
