Your oblidged to allow them to access it, that doesn't mean they are
allowed to breach your security. Why not control their pop3 accounts
using fetchmail and filter all mail from fetchmail and then dump into
local accounts? We do this for lots of our customers who move from an
@ispname.tld account to a new domain and new eamil addresses while
keeping the old account.
