The right way to solve that is not to use unseen, but for the email
address to forward to the mailbox (i.e. itself), as well as to any
remote addresses it forwards to.
i.e. if user@??? is both a local mailbox and a forward to
otheruser@???, then the redirect router should be set up such
that the data= value is user@???, otheruser@???. When
those addresses are routed in turn, the redirect router is skipped for
user@??? since it processed an identical ancestor of the
address.
See 22.5 "Redirecting to a local mailbox" in the manual.
