I am using option 3 from the CDOSYS (real deal) for sending emails though our exchange server. 

Question.   Is it posible and or how does one get the message sent to be stored in a user(s) sent box.

example: from our intranet a user has the option of selecting an item from our inventory listing and emailing the description to a client.  The program will generate the HTML and send it out.  Currently no record of the email apears in the users sent box.

When you send an email from ASP code whether using your exchange server or a regular email server I dont think your going to be able to automatically have a copy of the message sent saved anywhere... it just does not work that way.

that does not mean there isn't something you can do about the situation but I dont know what that would be

"perhap there is a way to also send a copy of the message directly to the users sent box in the exhange server ?"

I dont really know

You could also save a copy of the messages somewhere else.. like a text file or a database.. anywhere really

We show you in our article exactly how to send email with CDOSYS when needing to use outgoing smtp authentication

it's all in the article.. our downloable form also uses smtp authentication by default so you are covered there as well

http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/self_submitting_contact_ form_using_cdosys.asp

The code you are using above is not from our articles and uses does not use a remote server with outgoing authentication so it is not going to work in a situation that requires it

I suggest you start from scratch, read our articles and go from there.

outgoing authentication means nothing more than this

Your email address and email password are required to send an email
"done to stop spamming"

there are no special authentication codes.. you just use  a valid email address and password for that email server

then you use CDOSYS code like I show to send the email
(using a remote server with smtp authentication)

that being said whether a mail server requires outgoing authentication or not is nothing to get excited about because you can still use outgoing authentication with an email server that does not require it. No different then when you set up your email account in outlook (there are check boxes there to turn on outgoing authentication)

I dont see what is confusing about it... thats why I wrote this article explaining the different ways to send emails and what they mean
(with tested example code)

http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/sending_email_cdosys.asp

if you actually read though it all I just do not see how anyone could possibly still be confused

also, if you download our "contact us form" example code sending an email with that couldnt be easier and you can learn a lot from looking at the code in it.
