“I will be out of the office between date and date. If your email requires urgent attention please contact Insert Name Here.” Imo that’s enough
Thanks for your email. I’m currently offline, returning on [date]. I’ll respond to your message then.
If the person keeps you on the message thread in which they then contact someone else (ideally, the person you stated in your out of office message as the one who’s handling urgent issues in your absence), you are literally kept in the loop and can see for yourself that all was handled when you get back. Of course, this works even better if you check the most recent items in your inbox first when you get back.

Q. Will Supply Chain, Purchasing, Receiving, Mail Services and other such departments be open during winter break?
You’ll have options to set a “first day” and “last day,” or just “first day.” If you want things truly automated, picking a “last day” will trigger the autoresponder to automatically turn itself off the day after the selected date.
