Yeah, that's it, that's the right Postgrey file. You can use a UNIX socket or
inet. The key thing is that they must match between postgrey and postfix.
Postfix has to know how to communicate with Postgrey. Sometimes using a
socket can be problematic or more difficult, specifically in chroot
environments, IIRC. This may be why the default recommended setup for on
Debian is inet, as Debian runs Postfix in a chroot by default. For these
reasons I use the inet interface. It's just easier for me, and no real
potential gotchas.

No, nothing is needed in master.cf for this, only the line in main.cf. As I
stated in a recent post, I've been using Postfix for 5 years now. I have
never edited master.cf.
