• a document server integrated with workflow operations and embodied on a server machine, the document server configured for:
• determining whether an error condition exists in association with a document received at the document server based on error detection made by a facsimile board, facsimile software, or hardware or software component connected to the document server;
• if an error condition exists, determining whether a configuration option is set to prevent routing on error;
• if the configuration option is not set to prevent routing on error, routing or forwarding the document to a target over a network;
• and
• if the configuration option is set to prevent routing on error, preventing the document from being routed or forwarded to an intended recipient and performing at least one of:
• taking a workflow-related action on the document,
• notifying a workflow process involving the document,
• suspending a workflow relating to the document, or
• archiving a workflow task involving the document.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions translatable by a server machine embodying a document server for routing documents in a network environment, the instructions when translated by the server machine:

• determine whether an error condition exists in association with a document received at the document server based on error detection made by a facsimile board, facsimile software, or hardware or software component connected to the document server, the document server integrated with workflow operations;
• if an error condition exists, determine whether a configuration option is set to prevent routing on error;
• if the configuration option is not set to prevent routing on error, route or forward the document to a target over a network;
• and
• if the configuration option is set to prevent routing on error, prevent the document from being routed or forwarded to an intended recipient and perform at least one of:
• taking a workflow-related action on the document,
• notifying a workflow process involving the document,
• suspending a workflow relating to the document, or
• archiving a workflow task involving the document.
