Its not possible.
To make your process little easy, please, try it:

zmprov -l gaa|grep "old_"
copy all accounts that have old_ and join on /etc/zmbackup/blacklist.conf

Ok?
I have spent 2 minutes and created a script for tests purposes:
!!!Run script as zimbra user - not sudo or root!!!

#!/bin/bash
BLACKLIST_FILE="/etc/zmbackup/blacklist.conf"
COUNT_TOTAL=0
clear
echo ""
### ATENTION!!!!
### Change -> grep -E '^old_' on line bellow and add any prefix that you want. The ^ in line is 'start with old_ dont remove ^ just change old_
for accounts in `zmprov -l gaa|grep -E '^old_'`; do
        accounts_count=`grep $accounts $BLACKLIST_FILE|wc -l`
        if [ $accounts_count -eq 0 ] ; then
                COUNT_TOTAL=$((COUNT_TOTAL+1))
                echo $accounts >> $BLACKLIST_FILE
                if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
                        echo ">> $accounts add into Blacklist file $BLACKLIST_FILE [SUCCESS]"
                else
                    	echo "!! $accounts add into Blacklist file $BLACKLIST_FILE [FAIL]"
                fi
        fi
done
echo ""
echo "###########################################################################"
echo "# "
if [ $COUNT_TOTAL -lt 1 ]; then
        echo "#  No new accounts to add into Blacklist file $BLACKLIST_FILE"
else
    	echo "#  Accounts include into Blacklist file $BLACKLIST_FILE: $COUNT_TOTAL accounts"
fi
echo ""
echo ""
