When I was in college e-mail was everything. Facebook was only just getting off the ground, so when an event was happening or a club was recruiting the best way to get the word out was to send an e-mail to the listserv, which then sent it to specific class years or to the whole campus.
Problem was this listserv wasn't moderated at all. Any club president or anyone else who wanted access could get it, and the messages weren't screened for content before being distributed to every e-mail address on the list.
One such club president wrote an e-mail to the ex of his current girl that began, "Me and Jessica fucked like rabbits..." and he accidentally included the listserv address for the entire campus on that e-mail. The guy was generally well known as an active student with great grades who didn't get in trouble, so when a catty lovers quarrel was made public to thousands of students and faculty by his own hand it was kinda entertaining.
