Morphology
The meaning 'a list of names and addresses used for sending mail' is directly and compositionally derived from 'mailing' (sending mail) + 'list' (a recorded sequence). This straightforward noun+noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to understand the MWE.
Etymology
Mailing list comes from the simple picture of a list of names and addresses used for a mailing to many people. So the phrase now means 'a list used to send information or ads to a group'.
