Certain types of "customer information" may be confidential to the customer (and the company) and also comprise "trade secrets" that give the company an economic advantage over someone with the same information.

In any case, an employee with access to such information has a fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the employer.

Is it legal to sell a customer mailing list?

It depends on the contract (sometimes called the Terms of Use or End User License Agreement) that the customer signed and agreed to. If that agreement (which is a binding contract) says that the company can sell information given to them, it is perfectly legal. If the contract says that the company cannot sell customer information, then doing so would be a breach of contract.
