I hope you mean discard or put in a some junk folder. if you reject at
mda level, that results in a bounce, thus backscatter (because sender
may be forged).
anyway this is a question for the maildrop ML. In the meantime, read below

ahuh. This would match things like:
    From: mouss-officeexample.com
    Received: from foo.office-depot.com ...
   Subject: when will you come at our office?
...
use
if (/^Subject:\s*out of office\s*$/)
instead. always be as specific as you can. and don't look for "out of
office" in the body.

I believe "exit" is not the right choice, nor is "to /dev/null". You
need to set an exit code but I don't remember which one. search maildrop
ML archive or ask there.
 
better yet, put these in a specific folder so that you can check them
quickly if you want (maybe with the help of a script to grep mail from
some people ... etc). if so, use "to Maildir/.OutOfOffice/" for instance
(the folder must be created in advance (or here with a maildirmake shell
cmd).
