The point of the exchange connector is to talk to exchange via the owa 
(web)interface and exchange has an out-of-office response feature. 
However if you have owa enabled on your exchange server you don't really 
need a client.  Just point your browser at the URL, log in, and click 
the 'options' link on the left navigation panel.

If you don't have exchange, then you need to work with whatever server 
you use - most unix-like systems have something called 'vacation' and
webmin/usermin has an interface for it for users that don't log in normally.
