Because that's the way aliases work. They turn one address into another.
It turned robertg@??? into rg@???. Now it
has to run the directors again to find out what to do with
rg@???.

xxxx:
driver = aliasfile
domains = /FILES
search_type = lsearch
file = /OTHER_FILES
If that director runs, then "alias" is turned into "realuser". Then
"realuser" is redirected, to find out where to send it. Example: in my
aliasfile I have
postmaster: ph10
If mail arrives for "postmaster", it directs "postmaster". The aliasing
turns it into "ph10". Then that is directed by itself. It is not an
alias, so the aliasfile director declines and passes it on to the next
director. Eventually it hits the localuser director, which sends it to a
transport.
