We have a database here of many million emails, a large portion of
which are UCE. But, we do have a large enough number of non-UCE in
the system to pull some statistically meaningful data for such a
check.

The key thing is not the emails that you have received, but how
different MTAs handle such things.  Since all the email you received
used your MTA, this won't be a really good test.

I agree. Our DB though does have both email we received as well as reported UCE 
that is not from out MTA.

It would probably be better to look at NANAS, the SA spam archive, or
spamarchive.org.

A _very_ valid endeavor in any case. Relying on any single database would not 
be advisable in _any_ case.

Cheers!
