No. If successful, the new addresses are processed independently,
starting with the first director or router, as appropriate. Only if a
generated address is in a local domain and is not an alias will it reach
the next director.

Correct. You do not want a transport on an aliasfile director that is
doing aliasing.

(1) Use the "new_director" option on your aliasfile, so that if it
succeeds, it goes straight to localuser. This will restrict your aliases
to generating only local addresses, but that seems to be what you are
doing.
OR
(2) Put the "localuser" director *before* the aliasfile director.

Indeed, that is a third solution.
