broadly applied

An entry needs to be in EVERY location that could otherwise generate an
*unwanted* 'bounce'.

Handy: Send potentially critical ones to the mailadmin, less-critical
ones to a bespoke file that someone checks 'periodically' for
problematic patterns that might need remedial action. Or not.

Presumed: One does all possible handling in near-real-time - during the
live smtp session.

W/R cron'ed jobs: often easier to handle if the sending box (which often
HAS NO PTR RR or domain.tld) is configured to arrive on a bespoke port
and meet simpler rules and routing. Port 24, limited by IP, and/or with
matching PEM certs, local-only IPv6 ... etc.
