So far so good, but:

> Disabled user account
That last example won't work because the () and | have lost their
special meaning inside \Q ... \E.
I suggest that you stick with one email address per line, and
generate the patterns programmatically from data that you already
have.

Note that it's "error:5.2.1 Disabled...". The 5.2.1 is an RFC 3463
"Enhanced status" code, NOT a 5XX SMTP reply code.
