Hello!

This is the output:

$ cat /etc/default/exim4
# /etc/default/exim4
EX4DEF_VERSION=''

# 'combined' -	 one daemon running queue and listening on SMTP port
# 'no'       -	 no daemon running the queue
# 'separate' -	 two separate daemons
# 'ppp'      -   only run queue with /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4.
# 'nodaemon' - no daemon is started at all.
# 'queueonly' - only a queue running daemon is started, no SMTP listener.
# setting this to 'no' will also disable queueruns from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
QUEUERUNNER='combined'
# how often should we run the queue
QUEUEINTERVAL='30m'
# options common to quez-runner and listening daemon
