My team had a standard Christmas OOO, because we had international clients who needed reminding that basically the entire country is OOO 25th-1st. The message itself was fairly boring, but the template had “xxxx” as a placeholder for your signoff, and every single year someone would say “I’m not sure I’m comfortable giving our clients that many kisses”
This seems like information that would be better in an email signature than an OOO, really. That’s how my organisation does it.

So many people emailed Ryan that Aviation Gin's servers crashed. Here's his July 2018 out of office message:
And while it may seem like a simple thing, if your out-of-office message is unclear or incomplete, it can cause problems while you’re out and when you return.
You’ll find everything you need to set up an out of office message at the very bottom of the ‘General’ tab there.
This is the perfect out of office for anyone who just LOVES Christmas. As in, the sort of person who does all their Christmas shopping in September, wears Christmas-related apparel all November and December, and probably single-handedly organised the entire office Christmas party.

I would very much like to meet him, and I don’t know if that proves or challenges his point…
So from [date] to [date], I am going to be laid out in the sun catching a tan and reading a book.
Luckily for you, my colleague *Name* generously offered to cover for me. You can reach him/her at *email*.
Bon voyage! You’re going on your holidays and you’re completely leaving the office behind. This is the perfect auto-response if you won’t be checking your emails the entire trip.
3) I am out of the office from mm/dd to mm/dd and will not be checking email. It’s likely your note will be swallowed in a sea of inbox banality, never to be seen again. If you require a response, please re-send your email after mm/dd.
Please note that all our branches will be closed from [date] to [date]. We will reopen on [date]. We wish you all the best holiday!
So I thought I had a solution, but when I tested, I realized I don’t have access to my phone at all unless I turn off DND. UGH! Defeats the purpose. Is till want access to my maps, apps, safari and social media while on vacation.
So now this email is working overtime with the flood of enquiries, spam, well-wishes, and broken hearts.
