I assume you want to filter by username, and not IP,
otherwise tcpwrappers and tcpserver would do fine.

An easy approach would be to use qmail-pop3d, and
write your own checkpasswd. It is _very_ easy to
do, and you can use your favourite scripting language
(as long as it's not VBS). There are numerous implementation
of checkpassword at www.qmail.org.
