  One of our customers insisted we turn it on.  We did so.  Then @Home went
out of business, but someone with OOO turned on still managed to get a
message from someone @home.net.  OOO sent to @home.net, but got a bounce
message back.  That bounce message trigger the OOO again.  The system looped
like that until over 50,000 messages had been processed and 2+ GB of disk
space had been consumed by transaction log files, at which point the IS
crashed.  It took several hours to clean up the mess.

  OOO is turned off, now.
