Do you mean to ask what line in /etc/hosts.allow allows only one host to
connect to 110/tcp (presuming you mean pop3)? If the daemon has support
for tcp-wrappers, you could try:

pop3: thehost

Really, however, you should simply deny 110 (tcp and udp) to all hosts
by default with ipchains/iptables and explicitly allow the single host
with a separate rule.
