The tag by Exchange is "Out of Office AutoReply".
Of course, it helps if the Exchange user configures the OOO reply to
*not* reply to messages tagged with whatever their spam tag is (trivial
to do in Outlook). If you regularly get these messages from a specific
domain, perhaps contacting the admins and asking them to inform their
users how to set up their Out of Office correctly would help? I suppose
that pointing out to them that sending OOO replies to external senders
can be seen as a security issue is counter-productive.
Also, I'd want to know why messages originating from my domain were
being constantly tagged as spam - if you're wanting to create a rule for
such a rare (to me) event, it mustn't be that rare for you.
