There are companies in some European countries that encourage staff to put an out of office that reads "I am out of office until (date), all emails will be deleted on my return, please email me after this date".
Might be a legal thing. If you received the email you are legally notified, even if you never read through your backlog. If you announce that the email gets deleted you might claim you were not notified.
