No, not out of office, I pick most of my mails by POP3, and amsure you can also do it on IMAP - you set what most MUA's call pre-processing rules/filters which are done on the server before the mails are picked, and the rule should bounce back the mail to the sender, with you are the new sender. Am not sure if outlook supports these, but most open source MUA's will support pre-processing

Creating spam filters won't address the cause, create bounce filters
