I still find it almost unbelievable that supplying fake addresses for reviewers worked as often as it did in this case. One suspicion I had when reading about this was that maybe there is something particular to how the software works this journal used to manage reviews. Maybe it made it especially easy to just use the mail addresses the authors provided and send automatic mails, or maybe it hid the actual address by default. Otherwise my only explanation would be that the editors simply didn't care at all.
