mailing list

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for advertising targets' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'frenchman troubling with table' is the wordplay.
'frenchman' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr').
'troubling' becomes 'ailing' ('ail' can be a synonym of 'trouble').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'table' becomes 'list' ().
'm'+'ailing'+'list'='MAILING-LIST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mailing list that I've seen before include "that'll show where posts should go" , "people selected for posts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
