I had a request to do the same thing myself last year. I tried to fight
it but alas it was a losing battle.
My experience thus far has been that Out of office Assistant will only
send out one response to a given sender until it is reset -

the mail loop problems you read about occur when a rule is used to send
out of office rather than the assistant.

Subject: Exchange 2000 out of office
There has been a request from our business to turn on the out of office
feature to the Internet. Though we have made arguments against it, it
appears management wishes to implement this feature anyway.
From reading, there are circumstances that out of office can create a
mail
loop situation. Can anyone elaborate under which circumstances this will
happen so we can test this loop in a controlled fashion?
thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
