Disable reflections for matte objects?

[Jussing]

So, whenever I render something as a matte object, and set alpha contribution to -1, I don't need the matte objects to render reflections. Typically those will already be in the other pass.

Now, I don't know what the history is with this feature, because I've been experiencing V-ray do both, but not at my command. I had a project once, where several matte objects rendered like I wanted them to (without reflections), until one day, a new matte object I created had the reflections. But the other objects still didn't. I also had a project where matte objects would render without reflections locally, but with reflections on V-Ray cloud.

Disabling reflections in the material is not an option, as I am rendering water where I want it to refract the surface's proper reflections, and have the surface itself be a matte.

Thanks for any help.

vray cloud renders with standalone and probably some of these are not the same as in max. When setting objects as matte you need to make sure reflection / refraction contribution is 0 in vray object properties. Its been like that for a long time though.
