You can use the AllowUsers directive of sshd_config

AllowUsers
This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces. If specified, login is allowed only for user
names that match one of the patterns.

NAME
lmtpd - LMTP server process SYNOPSIS
lmtpd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ] [ -a ] DESCRIPTION
Lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail to the IMAP mailstore. It accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard output. It MUST be invoked by cyrmaster(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection. Lmtpd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -U uses The maximum number of times that the process should be used for new connections before shutting down. The default is 250. -T timeout The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero) will dis- able the timeout. The default is 60. -D Run external debugger specified in debug_command. -a Preauthorize connections initiated on an internet socket, instead of requiring LMTP AUTH. This should only be used for connections coming from trusted hosts. FILES
