Exchange Out Of Office has never replied to every message, at least not
since 4.0 Beta 2.  Now, an OOO rule can, but they're covered by "allow
automatic replies" rather than "allow OOO".

Most importantly, here, is the fact that OOO can cause looping.  Not
necessarily by the OOO itself with the current version of Exchange, but
most likely by some type of rule the User has set up.  About 4 years
ago, at a company in Richmond, VA, I was involved in a major OOO loop.
Filled up the data drive and shutdown the services.  This was when
Exchange OOO every message, even if it had already sent an OOO to that
User.

I think I described a scenario in which this could happen in another
post in this thread. The threat risk is low, but not 0. One really could
purposefully set up a mail loop with an OOO response if they had the
notion.

...but they're friendly lawyers, really. 

Seriously though, we do allow OOFs to the net, by friendly lawyer
request, and if you really can get it to loop I'd very much like to know
about it.
