The issue is probably ordering. You are archiving the message first
with unseen, then processing how that message will actually get
delivered. If it's an aliased email, the alias router generates the
new email address(es) and re-runs that message through the routers,
starting at the top. If you think about this, that means you want
exim to NOT archive messages that are subject to expansion, but you DO
want exim to archive messages that are subject to local delivery or
remote delivery.
So the simple solution is to put the archiving router after the alias
expansion router and before the local delivery and remote delivery
routers (i.e. between them).
