Someone will probably ask why an auto reply to the same person more than once a day might be necessary. This is why I needed it: A project manager was leaving the company, and the contacts writing him had to be informed that they should write to another address, and that the address they sent their mail to would soon cease to exist. When I set 'days' to 1, there was an outcry by other project managers that the contacts would probably not read the auto reply on the first time, or forget about it immediately, and then send more mails during the day. I had a lengthy discussion involving me questioning those contacts' intellect, but in the end I had to give in to a strong opposition against "only one auto reply per day".
Shouldn't that be more like:
reject "this guy is gone"; keep;
Yes, that was my first proposal, but that was also rejected harshly by the other project managers. They wanted to have some "transit time" in which the replacement guy would still access the leaving guy's mailbox.
They felt that just deactivating the mailbox and rejecting mails would be "rude".
