Yes, your second rule is an elsif, meaning that it is only executed when 
the first if-condition is not 'true'. Since that first rule has a forced 
'true' result, the second rule is absolutely never executed. You script 
should be:

require ["fileinto","copy"];

# rule:[redirect]
if true
{
   redirect :copy "alice at domain.com";
}

# rule:[Cron]
if header :contains "Subject" "Cron"
{
   fileinto "INBOX/Cron";
}

Note that the anyof() commands are only necessary when you have multiple 
tests per if command. Also, I removed the envelope require, since it is 
not used.
