So apparently if you reply to the engineering mailing list at my university, it sends it to everyone on the list. Some guy (maybe multiple people) decided to try and be funny and send 650+ e-mails back to the mailing list address and there's no way to see who sent them.

lol, so true. Somehow there were a few email addresses that forwarded the message to every single person in the entire University (over 18k people). Some emails got sent to it and total chaos ensued from people asking to get off the list, people felling at the people asking to get off the list, and people yelling at the people yelling at the people asking to get off the list. It was hilarious except for the amount of messages that I got from it.

Lol. I thought I was doing bad with a couple dozen today. But then, mine wasn't from a mailing list; I was working on a script that would e-mail my team if one of our (many) processes blew up.

Pardon my stupidity, but what does LUG stand for?
