i'm using sendmail on redhat8.0
my question is:
how to keep a copy of sended mail from a user?

I would think the user can specify this with whatever client they are using.

i'd like to know if there is another way to do this by sendmail?

From the sendmail FAQ, Question 4.20:

Question: "How can I automatically copy messages based on sender or recipient addresses?"

Answer: "It would require custom programming. You could either write a mail filter using the new Milter API in sendmail 8.10 and later (see libmilter/README) or you could look at some of these other unsupported hints:
# Axel Reinhold's logall.c module
# Message-Id: <33AA593A.4B701C3F@syntegra.nl>
# the procmailrc man page
Note that no such feature has been added to sendmail. When asked about this one of the sendmail developers said it was "because we still believe a bit in privacy."

If you were running postfix as your MTA it provides a very simple configuration for this:

always_bcc = address@to.send.to
