We had that problem too (at cise.ufl.edu, despite what my email address says).
I wrote a function to compare addresses that uses DNS to try and get all the IP
addresses for both hosts, and then changed the memcmp in server/dispatch.c
(this is version 2.0.2) to use my function. This probably won't work in all
cases, but it seemed to work for us... If anyone is interested in the code, I
can send it to you (I consider it a hack to make it work at our site, and not a
good or proper solution).
(I never tried this for zpopnotify, BTW. I think zwrite messages weren't being
delivered.)
