hi,
  Well if your using courier-imap ( Great imapd ) then you can do 
a number of thigs:
1 - As Ralph mentioned you provide nologin &
2 - You use userdb so that their challenged by that database
    which stores the username password authinfo.. Then disable 
    all remote logins.. if you want..
    
    Hope that helps some.

Best Regards,
