I've never heard 'UBE' before. Did you just add that Just kidding

'Bulk Mail' is the name used by the USPS. Sure, some of it is marketing crap, but Magazines also fall under the definition.

I think, from the legitimate senders perspective, there really isn't a known term other than 'Bulk Mail'. Solicited Commercial Email? I suppose that's technically correct, but I've never heard that either. I doubt a marketing maven who just wants to reach their existing customers isn't going to know it by anything other than 'Bulk Mail'..
