Haha...
So this guy gets shuffled out of his job and in the spirit of being considerate and helpful, he sets up his out of office to let everybody know he has gone.
He helpfully copies in the new email account, so whoever receives his out of office knows where to go next.
The new email account automatically replies to emails expressing thanks for the interest and assuring all and sundry that someone, somewhere is dealing with the query, no matter how small...
To which it receives an out of office reply, in which it is itself copied so it knows where to go next.
In the spirit of giving, it automatically replies to each of these expressing thanks for the interest and assuring all and sundry that someone, somewhere is dealing with the query, no matter how small...
Each of these replies, receives two replies....
