I haven't actually done this, but tcpwrappers should allow you to restrict
pop3 access to machines from your LAN. Look at the man pages for tcpd and
hosts_access for the details. Also look at the lines for telnet and ftp in
/etc/inetd.conf -- they are probably already set up to use tcpd (actually,
depending in distribution and version, pop3 may also be, and you just need
to implement the allow and deny lists).
