Please show us the output of `C-h v user-mail-address RET'.
I'd guess it is "" too.

AFAICS, this problem is already fixed in current CVS:

Your version doesn't have this fix:

| User-Agent: Gnus/5.110003 (No Gnus v0.3) Emacs/22.0.50 (darwin)

Setting `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' to nil or "bxf4@" should do the
trick.

"" _does_ match _every_ string in Emacs.
