I recently received an email from my girlfriend that spamassassin marked as spam, mostly because spamassassin detected a tracker ID... except there wasn't one. I'd like to know what triggered it, so that I can report a sensible bug.

FYI, you can see the TRACKER_ID rule as distributed in SpamAssassin 3.2.5 at http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/JMASON/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5/rules/20_body_tests.cf

How about looking at the rule in question? Google says this:
/^[a-z0-9]{6,24}[-_a-z0-9]{12,36}[a-z0-9]{6,24}\s*\z/is
...which in its current form will hit (some, depending on hyphenation) words with 24 or more characters. So maybe someone who is familiar with tracker IDs can adjust the regexp so that large words (say 30 characters?) won't get hit.

That's 2005, so it might have changed.
