Hope I did get this right.
I'd suggest:

On other.example.edu simply point to www.example.edu as you did with the
other host before.

On www.example.edu (running qmail) you'd have to

put into /var/qmail/rcpthosts
    .example.edu
or - alternatively - list all the hosts in example.edu that you receive
eMails for.

put into /var/qmail/smtproutes
    .example.edu:other.example.edu
or again - alternatively - list all the hosts in example.edu that you receive
eMails for on the left side of the ":".
This file overrides MX lookups and kinda defines a "hard route"

You probably already have had this and the problem is that
www.example.edu denies relaying from other.example.edu. To solve this
you have to manage that for connections from other.example.edu the
environment variable RELAYCLIENT is set for qmail-smtpd.
You can accomplish this by e.g. using tcpserver or tcp-env.
Have a look at FAQ 5.4 for examples.

Hope that helps,
