Why each option
To ensure the delivery of alerts to an administrator's email and cell phone, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) must be configured on the critical systems or an intermediary service.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring small files, typically for network boot or configuration, not for sending email alerts.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol used for sending email messages between email servers and from email clients to email servers. Configuring SMTP on critical systems or an alerting service enables the automatic dispatch of alerts to an administrator's email address, which can then be received on their cell phone directly or via an SMS gateway.
