Yes (this is for security reasons).  Go to the Advanced Options page of the
web interface, and towards the end are the appropriate options "Allowed
remote connections".  A bug (of sorts) with the current release means that
the three options (POP connections, SMTP connections, HTTP connections) are
identically labelled - the first one is HTTP, the next POP, then the last
SMTP.  You probably want the same value in each, anyway, however.

You can change them from "localhost" to "*" to allow connections from
anywhere, or (better) put (eg) "localhost,192.168.0.2" in to just allow the
two machines.
