Mailgun is a service you sign up for (which makes it super easy 🙂). If you’re looking to try and set up your own mail server, there’s this topic with a range of advice in which might be useful - [Where can I find steps for setting up email with my own SMTP server?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/where-can-i-find-steps-for-setting-up-email-with-my-own-smtp-server/204422)
