Some directors at my company like to use them, and they just get barraged with spam after the come back from vacation. One guy had a clean account - he would get 1-2 stray spam emails a month. He made me put one of those notification things up for a week he was out. Now he is getting 400+ spams a day. The automatic email replies are no longer usable. They might have worked in the past, but nowadays they will just kill you. Oh, and those disclaimer messages carry no legal weight whatsoever. The only reason people seem to use them is because they thing it makes the company look as if it cares about privacy, confidentiality and etc... Seriously, if we would really care about client confidentiality, we should make them install PGP (or GPG) and just encrypt and digitally sign all the communication. Every time I see one of these I automatically assume that the person either works for an idiot who forces all the employees to use these, or is just not the brightest crayon in the box... But that's just me. These automated email replies are instant spam magnets. Some directors at my company like to use them, and they just get barraged with spam after the come back from vacation.
