Nope. . . read again - the loop was internal. Auto-replies to the Internet were already disabled.
So, that's not really an argument against OOO to the Internet, but it does serve as a reminder that users can still mess you up.

This mail loop was again a result of automatic replies/forwards to the internet being enabled. OOO responses alone would not have cause this loop. I can envision several ways in which an OOO loop alone could be created, all of them involved poorly written software and the potential of them actually happening is extremely low.
