I considered this solution, but it isn't what I have in mind; everyone must be able to fetch POP3/IMAP mail, but some users have to be blocked. In other words: user JohnDoe can't fetch his mail thru Dovecot, but can still logon thru webmail with his username/password. JaneDoe can both fetch her mail with POP3/IMAP as well as thru webmail with her username/password.

Then for JohnDoe set allow_nets to 127.0.0.1 (or the IP of the server running the webmail interface), and for JaneDoe don't set a restriction (or set it to 0.0.0.0, haven't tried it).
