Claim 7:
8. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor implemented with hardware that is configured to:
process information output from a terminal apparatus and then generate post-processing information to be transmitted to a receiving apparatus server via the terminal apparatus or a different terminal apparatus, each of the terminal apparatus and the different terminal apparatus being an image forming apparatus;
communicate with (i) the terminal apparatus or the different terminal apparatus and (ii) communicate indirectly with the receiving apparatus server via the terminal apparatus or the different terminal apparatus, across a firewall that separates the processor from (i) the terminal apparatus or the different terminal apparatus and (ii) the receiving apparatus server, such that the processor is outside of the firewall;
acquire destination information regarding the receiving apparatus server, the destination information being output from the terminal apparatus across the firewall; and
in transmitting the post-processing information to the receiving apparatus server via the different terminal apparatus, transmit the destination information to the different terminal apparatus back across the firewall, and

wherein when the terminal apparatus is in a specific state, the post-processing information is transmitted to the receiving apparatus server across the firewall via the different terminal apparatus,
wherein when the terminal apparatus is in the specific state, the destination information is transmitted from the processor to the different terminal apparatus across the firewall, and
wherein the specific state includes one of an off state, a sleep mode, and a state where a processing load exceeds a predetermined threshold.
