An out-of-office message is an automatic response to emails you receive that lets the sender know you’re not currently working.
Out of Office replies can be turned on very easily and even timed to expire at a designated time. But did you know you can customize your OOF so that some people do not get the auto reply, or that they get a customized reply different than the rest of the group? The steps below will show you how.

I didn’t actually put that in my maternity leave out-of-office, but it is what I did when I got back.
