I had ours turned off for 3 years because of a looping issue that happened with Automatic Replies to the Internet. Well 4 months ago the powers that be asked that show if OOO will loop or not and I setup several test with outside companies to see if OOO would loop, and it did not. I still did not want to turn it on because of the Spam mail issue. If it is on and you get a SPAM message it is going to send a OOO to the spammer and if the address is valid you have just confirmed your e-mail address and can be guaranteed to receive many more messages. Well they did not care about that so I had to turn it on. But you will not receive a OOO from me because I do not set mine anymore. Too bad for the users that do not know I am on vacation, but I told management I would do this before I turned it on. I wish there was a individual setting that turn it off per mailbox instead of site. I always liked to use OOO for my users to know I was not around.
