It is quite possible that they rejected them because they didn't want to engage in any further communication with a crazy person. If they figured they might have some deranged soul on their hands who actually believed they wrote Jane Austen's novels, it would seem simpler to send a generic rejection than involve themselves and invite reply by pointing out the facts. I probably would have done the same.
