Mail room vs Mailing room

Both "mail room" and "mailing room" are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. "Mail room" refers to a room where incoming and outgoing mail is processed, sorted, and distributed. On the other hand, "mailing room" could refer to a room where mailing activities take place, such as preparing and sending out mail. The choice between the two depends on the specific context and the activities carried out in the room.
