There are three ways you can do this:
1. Have him configure his MUA to BCC himself for every email he sends.
2. Have him configure his MUA to store Sent messages in a "Sent"
folder that is in his IMAP connection instead of in a local "Sent"
folder on his local hard drive.
3. Have exim deliver all messages send by this user into a subfolder
in his maildir. To do this, I would add a router which delivers the
email into /path/to/his/Maildir/.Sent/ or similar, with the "unseen"
setting so that it continues on to do a regular delivery as well. It
will pollute your mail logs though.
Personally I would tell him to configure his MUA to do what he wants,
not the mail server, but it's up to you which policy you want to set.
