Outlook out-of-office reply should allow for selective auto reply.

It would be good if there is a way to set the out-of-office auto reply such
that the reply is automatically given only to your pre-defined group of safe
email address. This way auto reply will not get to the wrong hands, i.e.
junkies. Whenever we set an auto-reply when out-of-office, we will be
victimised further with more junk emails.

If the burglar are smart and they know you, then they will know you're not
at home since you're on holiday (according to your out-of-office assistance)!

Not likely, since 99% of all SPAM is sent from nonexistent addresses.
