What the author says it does
Security notice: versions 2.2.0 and earlier contain fixed vulnerabilities (unauthenticated arbitrary list subscription, weak SHA-1/MD5 hashing). We strongly recommend updating to the latest version immediately.
Mailgun is the email automation engine trusted by over 10,000 website and application developers for sending, receiving and tracking emails. By taking advantage of Mailgun’s powerful email APIs, developers can spend more time building awesome websites and less time fighting with email servers. Mailgun supports all of the most popular languages including PHP, Ruby, Python, C# and Java.
One particularly useful feature of this plugin is that it provides you with a way to send email when the server you are on does not support SMTP or where outbound SMTP is restricted since the plug-in uses the Mailgun HTTP API for sending email by default. All you need to use the plugin is a Mailgun account. Mailgun has a free account that lets you send up to 200 emails per day, which is great for testing. Paid subscriptions are available for increased limits.
The latest version of this plugin now supports regions. Select either U.S./North America or Europe to choose the API endpoint from which you will send email.
The current version of this plugin only handles sending emails, tracking and tagging and list subscription.
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Latest changelog entry
- Tested and confirmed compatible with WordPress 7.1
- Fix: settings page “Test Configuration” button now works on modern WordPress – replaced the jQuery AJAX handlers removed in jQuery 3.0 (complete/success/error) with always/done/fail
- Fix: load the plugin text domain on the init hook to avoid the “translation loading triggered too early” notice in WordPress 6.7+

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
