Agree with nearly all the previous points - except I don't think there was a technical breach of law, but hopefully sender was in breach of use policy! Most places I have worked have systems were only a select few can send an all staff email anyway.
The OP question was not marketing but such lists sometimes are used for such activity. Better practice is to ensure and mandate that they are not.
If the subject thinks he knows it all you may need to be prepared to deal with an Art 21 Objection / 18(1)(d) restriction request - how you deal with that depends on whether you think you are processing work email data under para 1(b) or 1(f) of Art 6 - I leave that for another day as final answer will be the same by another route.
You may also need to explain why PECR doesn't apply - he is not an individual subscriber as you are not providing a public service - I am assuming his address and the list is of staff using your email domain, not their personal gmail etc. accounts. If the latter it is a different game.
