Honestly, I think that's too much work for almost no gain. Bots can do
password guessing just as easily via IMAP or SMTP AUTH so there is
little reason to think that trying to block POP3 access to them will do

However, you SHOULD IMHO lock the access so it has to be manually opened for

Thanks,
Sean
