Same here, and I got annoyed at these emails filtering through the different rules that I have set up. I realized that the test emails all had some values in the headers to indicate them as such, so I set up a rule to filter them out to a separate folder. It obviously defeats the point, but it's much less annoying.
Need to take it a step further. IIRC, they usually use a tracking link with your address encoded into it, so they know who clicked the link. Need to crack whatever encoding they use, and start "clicking" links for senior leadership.
