You only have the OoOA if you are in an Exchange environment

I don't understand, please explain.

The Out of Office Assistant is only in Outlook when you are connected to an
Exchange server. This is a specific mailserver from Microsoft used in
corporate environments to send mail internally as well (to put it simple as
Exchange can do way more than that).
The OoOA isn't a part Outlook when you are connected to the Internet to your
ISP directly and use POP, IMAP or HTTP to receive your mail.
Hope this explains it better!

Presumably you are not connected to exchange server? If not, then you can
set up a rule to do this. BUT. Your PC must be on, with Outlook running and
a connection to the internet up 24/7. Your rule will reply to ALL the spam
emails you get, which will generate even more spam emails to reply to and so
on and so on untill your inbox (very rapidly) fills up. It also will
advertise to all and sundry that your house is available for burglary.
the choice is yours! I know what I'd do....

Gordon is right.
So if you already going to use a rule you might want to consider to let the
rule only apply to people in you Contacts folder and set some exceptions
like not to reply on messages with the subject failed, autoreply, Out of
Office, undeliverable, etc...

Like I said, use mailrules at the client. If you're lucky your ISP will also
allow you to set server based rules in the webbased mailclient of theirs.
