Well I suppose that if a) no mail gets delivered to them anyhow and b) they 
don't have a mailbox or queue, they won't get very far.

Beyond that the only methods I (naively?) am aware of are access control 
ones, based on where they are trying to connect from.

What is the concern?  If you fear malicious users, then access control is 
going to be better because by the time they can connect, but would be 
denied based on not having a proper user name and password, you have 
arguably opened up your PoP3 server more than you wanted to.  (Although 
potentially "noisy", they can try to bruce force if given access.)

Can you arrange for your ftponly users to have a different range of IP 
numbers than others and then not allow them to connect to the PoP3 server 
with tcp wrappers and / or firewall ?
