Don't know if this is the right place to post this. Are the out of
office
messages inviting hackers to attack your corporate network? Is this a
risk
to your company if employees start using the Out of Office feature?

It depends.

If you fail to turn it off and it gets sent to multiple mailing lists,
you
might be inviting the wrath of an annoyed list-admin. :-)

It's probably not a good idea anyway.. don't need to be advertising the
fact that you're going to be gone for X number of days.

Besides, sysadmins rarely get vacations. ;)
