You're trying to use a numeric comparator with string values.  By 
definition, if both "value" aren't numeric, they are considered equal. 
If you're trying to test for a particular email address, then your rule 
should be something like:

if address "From" "info at empowerisv.com" {
...
}


or more explicitly:

if address :is "From" "info at empowerisv.com" {
...
}

:is happens to be the default of none of :is, :matches, :contains, or 
:regex is specified.
