It would be good to at least include that check: If this header is present, and its value is anything else than "no" (and maybe "auto-forwarded" too to cover somewhat broken clients like Lotus Domino) then do not send a post acknowledgment.

Not sending multiple OOF replies to the same recipient during the vacation (or at least not more than once a day!) would also be a common courtesy...
