In general usage you most often see "correspond with" in the
communication sense. Using it in the other senses is rare.
Ironically I wasn't totally sure on the usage without looking it up, but
it felt wrong as it was. There are one or two cases in the documentation
where the "in agreement with" interpretation might work, but even there
the "correspond to" felt more appropriate to me.
Cheers,
