*** Update ***
In version 8 the mail router has new functionality called the Out of Office service which requires a Lotus Domino 8 server, Lotus Notes 8 client and Lotus Notes 8 mail template. The agent can still be used for backwards compatability requiring only the client and the template. The benefits of the new service are instant response time, fail-over support, automatic disabling, shorter duration times and delegation support (for both the agent and the service).
More about the new Lotus Notes 8 Out of Office functionality.

After version 6 of Notes/Domino it is possible to enable the out-of-office agent for someone else than yourself. You need some access and the designer client though. The development team are currently working on a way to get this feature into the Notes client. Until then we have to do this from the other end. Here's how to do it:
- Open the user's mail database in Domino Designer -> MailServer / mail /xxx.nsf
- Open the agent view
- Mark/highlight the agent '(EditOfficeProfile)'
- Choose 'agent' from the menu and the 'Run'
- A popup screen appears where you can adjust some info like the dates and text to be displayed. Press 'Ok', do not press 'Enable'
- Open up the agent 'OutOfOffice'
- In the agent properties, choose second tab (the one with the key)
- Type the hierarchical name of the person you want to enable the agent for in the 'Run on behalf of'-field
- Go back to the first tab in the agent properties window and check which server that the agent runs on. That is, click on the schedule-button and make sure that the mailserver is listed there.
- Save the agent
- Let the agent be marked/highlighted and choose 'agent' from the menu and the 'Enable'
- Done!
