In my experience, if you fix a problem like this with a one-off waiver to operate there will be problems down the road as soon as there is a change of command (at the navy.mil level), they will request all STIG *(Security Implementation Technical Guide)* be reviewed and implemented, these guides are often implemented first and consequences are dealt with afterwords. You will be requesting the same wavier every two to four years.
I agree with Jonathan, but the problem may be bigger than just a domain, there is probably some kind of blacklisting going on for their netblock as well. The department would need to get another IP address as well as a new domain name. There will most likely be blacklisting on core router ACLs as well as SMTP filtering going on at the .mil level. It's best to keep the .edu domain separate from anything that .mil would see as harmful (what ever this years definition of that may be).
