Good point. Maybe there could be some throttling built into the "autoreply" extension that Ken says people have considered writing. 10 autoreplies per day per address or something.
That would make it workable. I've been asked for the same thing, and would welcome a solution. Another aspect of it that has bothered me is that HR typically wants to say "your message has been received", but are there situations where the reply is sent and the message not delivered? Disk failure perhaps, or the recipient mailbox over quota. In such cases the message should bounce, but maybe not for a few days, and in the meantime the sender thinks it has been received. The consequences are different than they are for an ordinary vacation notice. It could be more of a legal question than an email question.
