Are you sure your POP server was compiled with libwrap support? If not, you can't block with hosts.deny.
Yes, you can. hosts.allow comes from the tcpwrappers package, which also includes "tcpd". Most often this is used in /etc/inetd.conf: finger stream tcp nowait nobody /some/where/tcpd in.fingerd Would protect the "finger" service even if "in.fingerd" has no support for tcp-wrappers. The same goes for pop-servers which are spawned off inetd. Peter
