We have to find some way to stop matching successful emails, otherwise it'll start highlighting on a successful mail and not stop until it finds a failure.
Do you have a sample of a successful mail log entry that you can post? I think some kind of zero-length match 'dos not match here' pattern might do the trick, but I'm not too up on those.... :help zero-with gives a couple of patterns ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for ex) but I'm not sure they'd work. After all, proving a negative is one of the hardest tasks.
