Use 2 checkered planes with one very slightly moved up.
The top plane will have no_image and no_shadow and have a reflection less 
texture. Also give it an interior_texture with pibment{rgbt 1}.
The bottom plane is your actual plane with it's reflection.

The bottom plane will still be illuminated and "see" the rest of the scene 
because the underside of the top plane make it invisible.
The rays reflected by the box are intercepted by the top plane and won't be 
further reflected.

It can look like:
union{
plane{y,0 pigment{checker rgb 1, rgb0}interior_texture{pigment{rgbt 1}}no_image 
no_shadow }
plane{y,0 texture{checker texture{pigment{rgb 1}finish{reflection 
1}}texture{pigment{rgb 0.01}finish{reflection 0.2}}translate -0.0001*y}
}
