User-A sent a meeting request to User-B and then gets an Out of Office reply
from User-C. User-B and User-C can access each others calendar, is that why
that happens?

Is User C set as a delegate for User B? That's more than just calendar access.

Yes, they are delegates for each other, but they don't get OOOs on the other
persons messages, just meeting requests.

Exactly. That's how meeting requests and messages normally work. Maybe User C shouldn't be a delegate?

Probably, this is not a case where the delegate is someone's assistant and
keeping their calendar for them. It's just two admin assistants who
occasionally need access to each others calendar.

I don't believe you need to add someone as a delegate in order to allow them
access to your calendar. Sharing the calendar should be sufficient.
