Tracking URLs is a precompiled list of trackers and if an url is in the mail 
that starts with the defined urls the tracker call is blocked.

webengine/blockmailtrackingurlinterceptor/
blockmailtrackingurlinterceptor.cpp#L37

I myself do not know where this list comes from and I never seen this 
triggered for myself. If a URL is found it should trigger a popup like scam 
detection. Maybe others can help what this list is about.

> Phishing Google System

There is at least from code it seems working. But maybe the APIKey is not 
valid anymore?
