How can I find out what triggered the TRACKER_ID rule in spamassassin?

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.
