Maybe as some kind of autoforwarder in spam filtering? This would also forward non UCE spam (religious, revenge spams, etc.) as well as any false positives that tripped the spam filter. Also, not all UCE type spams are best reported to the UCE address. Stock spams should be reported to the SEC, and quack medicines should be reported to the FDA. I also think that overstuffing the FTC mailbox may make them less effective at whacking the spammers that need it the most.
