At DrJays we currently use auto-responders for two things:

1. Saying "thank you for sending your resume to [EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc. To let someone know we received it. Lest they pester us or something I guess.

2. Telling coworkers who wonder why we are slacking on their request that we are actually out of town on vacation for two weeks and that they might want to talk to someone else and we aren't just ignoring them. I never set a vacation message personally, it seems a bit self-important. But on the other hand perhaps I have pissed people off by not following up on their support requests in a timely manner when I have been indisposed.

I don't know if they are worth it but it seems auto-responders are something we will never get away from because it will be impossible to convince the suits that they are unnecessary.
