Assuming you have installed tcpserver you add rules to smtp.rules (and
thence to smtp.cdb).
If you're using tcpwrappers, then the rules go into hosts.allow and
hosts.deny
without knowing how you have setup SMTP and POP on your system its
impossible to help further.
How do you start qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d?
