Google-apps – Automatically forward emails from Google Apps for Business to variable address

emailemail-forwardinggoogle-apps

At this point, I have absolutely no idea if what I'm asking is possible, but I figured it's worth a shot to ask.

I need to be able to send emails from a web server to a Google apps for business email account and then be able to forward them automatically to an address somehow supplied through the original email.

The reason behind this is that when I try to send emails directly from my web server to people not in our Google Apps account, it automatically sends those emails to spam, and I just can't have that. When I send an email from my Google Apps email, it works fine. This is why I came up with the idea to automatically forward an email that came from the web server to the Google Apps and then to the customer.

The customer's email would somehow have to be supplied to the Google Apps account so that it can forward it properly. As a side note, I can send from my web server to the Google Apps but not to outside accounts.

Any help is very appreciated with this issue. If we can figure out how to forward or maybe even just send properly, that would be awesome.
