Are you using the Zimbra Outlook Connector or direct SMTP ?

What version of Outlook are you using? I briefly looked at this with Outlook 2000/2003 and the only thing I could come up with was setting up an Outlook rule to copy/move messages from the local Sent folder to the Zimbra Sent folder. Didn't really get into it enough to see how well this would work.
I thought with newer versions of Outlook (2007/XP/2010) there was a setting that let you control where sent messages were saved, similar to what other email clients like Thunderbird have.

as i don't want to configure any thing from client site i want to do this by settings at zimbra site only, so is it possible? is there any way to capture mail sent by particular user?

Not really as it will be happening at the Postfix level. You could write a content filter that Postfix would hand off to, check who sent the email and it it matches write it out somewhere, and then re-inject it back into the queue for final delivery. There may also be a milter somewhere you could use for doing it. Only other alternative, AFAIK, would be to always_bcc.

I already solved the same :

su - zimbra
vi /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf

add following on top.......

sender_bcc_maps = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc

then

vi /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc

add following.....
user1@mydomain.com admin@mydomain.com

user2@mydomain.com admin@mydomain.com

..

postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/sender_bcc
atlast

posfix reload
so now when ever user1 or user2 sending any mail admin will get a copy no matter from where he is sending( webmail or outlook etc.)
