Text from the manual page of dnsmasq

|  -S,   --local,  --server=[/[<domain>]/[domain/]][<ipaddr>[#<port>][@<source-ip>|<interface>[#<port>]]
|              Specify IP address of upstream servers directly.
|
|  local is a synonym for server 


Comment out your 'server=' and 'local=' lines or remove them.
Try again and report back.

If the "*.local" still aren't resolved. Tell more how it is done.
(programs and computer being used, what should be the result, why)
I'm asking because the
> listen-address=127.0.0.1
is somewhat strange ..
