You need Exchange Server for such functionality.

I should add... that without Exchange Server, you can still provide such
functionality by using a rule (that replies to all incoming email).

It's just a work-around - and it's not perfect:
* you need to leave Outlook running.
* it can create circular replies (email loops).

In Outlook, hit the F1 key to bring up help. Then search on "out of
office". The help articles plainly state:

This feature requires you to be using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail
account.

You never mentioned that an Exchange mail server was in your setup for
e-mail services so I'm guessing that you don't have one. You can try to use
a rule in Outlook to emulate this feature:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311107

Or better yet is to go look at the options available in your e-mail account
to see if your e-mail provider already includes an auto-responder function
for your account. Use the webmail interface to whomever is your
unidentified e-mail provider to look at the user-configurable options to see
if an auto-responder is available. It may be called something else, like a
vacation responder.
