Yes. Use for this Tcp wrappers.

^^^^^^^^^
Only IP level???
If uses ident , you can restrict pop3 access for some account.
See man hosts_options
USERNAME LOOKUP
rfc931 [ timeout_in_seconds ]
Look up the client user name with the RFC 931 (TAP,
IDENT, RFC 1413) protocol. This option is silently
ignored in case of services based on transports
other than TCP. It requires that the client system
runs an RFC 931 (IDENT, etc.) -compliant daemon,
and may cause noticeable delays with connections
from non-UNIX clients. The timeout period is
optional. If no timeout is specified a compile-time
defined default value is taken.
