In which I am confused

First, shortest subs time to rejection ever.  No worries about that, I suppose, but it comes with a message "We are not using $automated-submission-method as of $date-before-today, please check $url-that-goes-nowhere for our updated submission guidelines."  

Checking google gives me the guidelines page that says "We use only $automated-submission-method," with no sense that this is not still in force.  Now I figure this is a case of no one had time to update the guidelines, but I don't know how to ask about this, or even if I have the right to ask.  

As for the story, I am going to assume that by coincidence, there was a slush reader who got it within an hour of it's arrival, read it, hated it an bounced it immediately.  I did that a couple times at FM.  Or that an automated rejection for not following the guidelines (despite not being able to find the current guidelines) is just as legitimate a rejection as one that a human had to do, either way, I don't want to dispute it, but I would like to know if the market in question is in fact, open for submissions, and how one would properly do so, without getting the editorial staff to think I am an asshole whose work they will never want to buy.  

I figure I can manage that part without any help at all.
