The option was added to allow added privacy against mails from
outside:
- other people in your organisation (which can be too big or too
  distributed to know about everyone's vacation) will be informed.
- mails from outside can't be used to check if you're on vacation.
- domains which are misused as sender for spam will not be flooded
  with vacation answers.
