I suspect you are going to find a lot more of these so probably best to have a replace_list file.

Create a replace_list file for yourself with 3 ; separated fields
  1. Search string
  2. New status
  3. New error string
If 1. is found in your error string the string is replaced with 3. also if 2. is non-blank then status is replaced with 2.

For you requirements so far you need this replace_list:
Code:
abuse;;Error - for abuse
not exist;email;account that you tried to reach does not
timeout;;timeout
Greylisting;;Greylisting
delivery temporarily suspended;;delivery temporarily suspended
refused to talk;;host refused to talk to me:
CA Gateway Security;;Rejected by CA Gateway Security

New script to load replace list and output your required strings:
Code:
awk '
   NR == FNR { R[i++]=$0; next }
   /to=/&&/, status=.* \(/ {
   status="status=deferred";
   toemail=$0;
   errorstr=$0;
   gsub(".* to=<", "", toemail);
   gsub(">.*", "", toemail);
   gsub(".*, status=[^ ]* \\(", "", errorstr);
   gsub("\\)$", "", errorstr);
   for (i in R) {
       split(R[i], F, ";");
           if(index(errorstr, F[1])) {
               errorstr=F[3];
               if (F[2]!="") status=F[2];
           }
   }
   print toemail, status, errorstr
} ' replace_list mail.log
