This sucks, I’m even getting abuse complaints from Amazon SES because my users are bombarded with these emails. Going to pull Wordfence from my site as there is no way to disable this in a sane way.
It must be because i submitted the first post with cut & paste from another wp install. I asumed the smiley link was generated on each page-view instead of once with the submission of the post. Thanks for helping me out!
