Note that the anyof() commands are only necessary when you have multiple

not used.
Out of interest is the conditional around
if true
{
redirect :copy "al...@domain.com";
}
necessary? Does a plain inline
redirect :copy "al...@domain.com";
not behave in exactly the same manner?
These are identical. Some people (or rather their GUI-based editors) use
unconditional if-statements to temporarily disable/enable certain
sections of a script.
By the looks of it, this was generated by the sieverules plugin for the
RoundCube webmail client. In this case it looks more like a limitation
of the script generator, meaning that it doesn't omit the if statement
when the rule is unconditional.
Other than that, the if true {...} statement is completely useless and
adds nothing to the semantics of the script.
I'm afraid it's a while since I read RFC 5228 (Sieve) and I was unfamiliar
with RFC 3894 (:copy) but on scanning through them I can't see anything to
indicate that behaviour should differ inside and outside an "if".
So I suppose my question is does "redirect :copy" have different behaviour
based on whether it is inline or inside an "if"?
Conclusion: no.
