Default Easy but effective prank friends and I came up with for school emails

I don't know how many school emails are like this (my undergrad wasn't) but my law school email allows up the possibility to send an email to the whole debt, just the students or just the people registered for a particular class.

Well over the weekend of studying a friend and I had some fun with this.

To email all the students in the dept, the addy is something like:
'COMPLETE-LAW-STUDENTS@LISTS.queenslaw.com'

Anyway, so we've been sending out stuff to freak people out: i.e. outing people as cheaters, lies about exams being moved up or making up review sessions on Sunday afternoon, a classified ad on behalf of a female friend of ours who recently made a joke about needing to get laid.

We put 'COMPLETE-LAW-STUDENTS@LIST.queenslaw.com' in the 'To:' field, we removed the S from LISTS so it just gets bounced back and then BCC the email to the email address of whomever we want to play the trick on.

They get it and, not noticing the missing S (which no one has to date), assume it's something that went out to the whole school.
