(you could also modify it on the COS)

Thus duplicate away messages will not be sent to the same user in the given interval of 1 day. On day 2, if they send that account an email, they would again get back one notification, then no notifications for another day.

Setting to 0 would send an out-of-office notification in response to every email received. (you want this-but it's generally not a good idea, as your sending responses to spam etc...
+ If you have user A with an away message up, user B sends an email, and immediately put's up their away message (with the attribute set to 0) you could technically get a loop.
Therefore 1d and up is probably a better setting to use.
I prefer 3d (or every week 5/7d depending upon how long the user is gone) ie: If their gone a month-then every week, (this is what I set the COS to) unless they specifically ask for 3 days.
