Option one: I don't inform them at all. Option two: I reply with "No thanks."
If I might suggest? Do up a rejection spiel that is going to make both you and the author feel as good as possible about the "no thanks". Something standard:
"All About Spike would like to thank you for submitting your story. Unfortunately the sheer volume of stories. . .blah blah."
Your a clever, caring girl, I've no doubt you can come up with something suitably warm because as nasty and undeserving as some authors may be, we still feel for them hey. Well I do, and I think you do too or this wouldn't bother you so much. :)
