As Olivier suggested, do the scanning after the alias has been
expanded.
To do that, just move the spamcheck director below the alias-expanding
("redirect" in exim4, "smartuser" IIRC in exim) director.
exim processes the directors in order, and the first one to accept the
address is run. If you have the alias-expanding one first, it will
accept "chris@" and redirect it to "christo@". After that, the
spamcheck director will accept "christo@" and do the scanning as user
'christo'.
