Exchange 2000/Outlook 2000 Maternity Leave

I have a user that is on maternity leave.  She gets a large amount of SPAM and other email... what is the easiest way to stop email from getting into her mailbox while she is off so she doesn't come back to thousands of email?  Do I just delete her email address and add it back in when she returns, or is there a different way.  Can her mail be forwarded to someone else to look after?

Thanks for any help

Thanks kgreeneit... If I do the first option can I setup the out of office assistant message for the user, or will it not work because the mail never hits her mailbox?
Hi there, from experience the out of office assistant will only work if you select the option to deliver mail to both the forwarded address and the original mailbox. have a look at this document for some more info.
