I've never seen it. I'm sure that works "in theory"

  A quick Google for "outlook autoreply headers" gave me https://www.jitbit.com/maxblog/18-detecting-outlook-autoreplyout-of-office-emails-and-x-auto-response-suppress-header/ https://www.jitbit.com/maxblog/18-detecting-outlook-autorepl... -- a more comprehensive list of headers is available at https://github.com/jpmckinney/multi_mail/wiki/Detecting-autoresponders https://github.com/jpmckinney/multi_mail/wiki/Detecting-auto... Will some things filter through this list? Undoubtedly, but I would be surprised if it's a significant percentage. Extremely high-volume lists probably need some more specific care, to be sure.

  Couldn't you filter most of them out by the timestamp? If you get a reply that was sent faster than a human could have responded, ignore it.

    The auto-reply is probably sent by a desktop email client, which are often offline and/or configured to only check for new email every few minutes. So you'd fail to mark a lot of auto-replies.

      Exchange configures it on the server because generally people have their computers turned off when on holidays.
