How do you determine correct debconf-set-selections, I am interested in exim specifically, but would like to know the general way

Question

I need to configure exim non interactively but I'm having trouble determining the question answer key value pairs.

I would like to know how to find this info on other packages as they come up though.

Do a test install manually with the options you want, then check what was set:

debconf-get-selections | grep exim

Thanks this worked, I just needed to run: apt-get install debconf-utils first. – nicxvan Dec 09 '14 at 01:11
