Under DPA Principle 5 there's no requirement to keep them longer than necessary. So unless you have a good reason to retain them (eg informing list members of similar services in future) they can be deleted straight away.

Subject: [data-protection] Email Address Retention
Hi all,
When closing down an email newsletter service, how long should the customer email addresses be retained for? The email address and name are stored in Mailchimp.
Can this just be deleted?
Thanks
Naya
