    		Hmm...back when IRC (Internet Relay Chat) was in its height (1996-2000) and IM'ing wasn't popular (or widely available) yet, we used to refer messaging someone (within IRC)as "macking" someone.

    		My Webster dictionary also mentions "mack" as an interjection, a mild oath, possibly an euphemism for Virgin Mary.

    		Yes...as slang it means "making out."
