If you are using Exchange Server, then that's the default setting.

vacation email = autoresponder

As a general rule, there is a lot wrong with autoresponders. Not only
are they felt to be a potential security risk, but they are also a cause
of abusive newmails which result from the autoresponder's system
accepting a mail with a bogus From (such as spam or malware) and then
generating a newmail responding to the bogus From address.

The bogus From address doesn't want your abusive autoresponder or its
spam or malware, and those who report will report your provider's
server, perhaps blocklisting it and causing others who use your
provider's server to have trouble getting their outgoing mail delivered.

Let a human do it. Turn your email over to a friend/co-worker.

The Rules Wizard for Microsoft Outlook automatically processes both
incoming and outgoing messages. You set conditions similar to those used
for Microsoft Outlook filters, then indicate what action(s) you want to
be performed on messages that meet those conditions. -- For Microsoft
Exchange Server users, Rules Wizard automatically converts rules created
with the Inbox Assistant feature (which Rules Wizard replaces). Exchange
Server users also have an Out of Office Assistant for handling such
things as vacation notices and Folder Assistant rules that run on public
folders. See Server-based vs. client-based rules.

there is nothing about internal like using all the company's email
liek ALLxxxxxx

here is the help desk copy:
Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some
languages.

This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail
account. Most personal e-mail accounts through an Internet service
provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet
for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World
Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many
locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) are POP3
accounts and do not support this feature.

In Mail, on the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant.
I don't see the Out of Office Assistant command

The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you are
using an Exchange Server e-mail account and you are in the Mail view.
Click I am currently Out of the Office.
In the AutoReply only once to each sender with the following text box,
type the message that you want to send to others while you are out.
If you want, create rules (rule: One or more automatic actions taken
on e-mail messages and meeting requests that meet certain conditions,
along with any exceptions to those conditions. Rules are also referred
to as filters.) to manage your incoming mail.
How?

On the Tools menu, click Out of Office Assistant.
Note The Out of Office Assistant command does not appear unless you
are using an Exchange Server e-mail account.

Click Add Rule.
Under When a message arrives that meets the following conditions,
specify the conditions of the rule that the message must meet for the
action to occur.
To specify more conditions, click Advanced, select the options that
you want, and then click OK.
To specify that this rule must be the last one applied, select the Do
not process subsequent rules check box.
Under Perform these actions, select the options that you want. You can
select more than one option.
Note If you specify that a message must be deleted, rules that follow
the delete rule in the list of rules in the Out of Office Assistant
dialog box do not affect the message.

I once made the mistake of setting up an auto responder, it wasn't long
till I got an auto notification from support@serviceprovider which
happens to send confirmation responses (support ticket) so you know they
received your email.

With 2 autoreponders going at each other it quickly got out of hand.
