Create a new, empty PostgreSQL database to hold the mail data, and a dedicated database user that owns it. Both are named manitou by default.

manitou-mgr --create-database [--conf=/path/to/configfile] [--quiet]
[--db-name=val] [--db-user=val] [--db-host=val] [--db-port=val]
[--db-super-user=val] [--db-super-password=val]

Options:

--db-name
Name of the new database to create (default: manitou).
--db-user

--db-port

--db-super-user
