The problem, as I understand it, is Microsoft Exchange.  It sends out-of-office 
replies as ordinary messages, and doesn't use any of the established methods 
which could be used to mark such messages, such as a Return-Path header of <>, 
or an Auto-reply header, or a bulk precedence header.  It does, however, seem 
to add its own header:

Out of Office AutoReply:

so you could add something in RT's bounce detection to detect that.
