"Live" PayPal app w/webhook / REST API & JS SDK causes IPN msgs delivered to IPN handler?

I implemented PayPal app w/webhook using REST API and JS SDK for my customer which has "gone live".

 

The customer also has a legacy IPN handler registered w/PayPal, still in use, especially for prior made subscriptions.

Purchases/Subscriptions made in the live "new app" via REST API/JS SDK unfortunately also cause IPN messages to be delivered to the legacy IPN handler (with types of 'cart' or 'recurring_payment' ).

Ideally, I don't want new sales via REST/JS SDK to generate IPN messages to the legacy IPN handler, as it will cause confusion as to what is a new purchase and what is a legacy purchase. I can track new sales via webhook, so why is PayPal generating IPN message for the new API???

Is there a way to prevent delivery of these "new API" sales as IPN messages to the legacy IPN handler?
