You don't mention the O/S but most "mailx" versions will need one invocation per recipient.

Code:
for email in "allan@gmail.com" "bruce8899@gmail.com" "Chris@gmail.com"
do
    echo "$dir : $filecount is over the limit $limit " | mailx -s "${SUBJECT}" "${email}"
done


There are more complicated methods of processing a list of recipients by using mailx tilde commands but it still needs one invocation of "mailx" per recipient.

I think using a comma between the email addresses will do the work.

Hi
I still cannot sent out the email to multiple user . This is my man mailx
Code:
 Send mode:
      mailx [-FUm] [-s subject] [-r address] [-h number] address ...

    Receive mode:
      mailx -e

      mailx [-UHLiNn] [-u user]

      mailx -f [-UHLiNn] [filename]

    Obsolescent:
      mailx [-f filename] [-UHLiNn]

while how to set it sent to multiple user ?

Ahh the man helps, so your mailx does support multiple address. Just use:

Code:
emails="allan@gmail.com bruce8899@gmail.com Chris@gmail.com"

echo "$dir : $filecount is over the limit $limit " | mailx -s "${SUBJECT}" ${emails}

Notice no quotes around the ${emails} this will expand each email to a seperate parameter (as the "..." in the usage show your mailx requires).

Do you have the quotes around the assignment?

Your original post shows:
Code:
Email = allan@gmail.com bruce8899@gmail.com Chris@gmail.com

But have you tried:
Code:
email="allan@gmail.com bruce8899@gmail.com Chris@gmail.com"
