Hello serge,

Thanks for your post.

By default, on SBS 2003 server, there is only switch for Out of Office(OOF) that enable or disable this feature. SBS server will not control individual Out of Office behavior. So, let's first focus on the
problematic user account first.

Start Outlook with the /cleanrules switch, then re-setup the OOF and see if it works. However, before you do that, remember to export your inbox rules via the Export Rules button found within the Options
section of the main Rules and Alerts window.

If the issue still occur, please refer to the following articles to reconfigure and troubleshoot this abnormal OOF issue:

Create a rule to have Exchange Server send an automatic reply:
