I use Gnus gcc-self parameter for exactly the same purpose:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-parameters
      `((,(rx "nnimap+")
         ;; Place a copy of sent mail in the group I'm writing from...
	 (gcc-self . t))

	(,(rx "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists.")
         ;; ...except for mailing list groups
	 (gcc-self . "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Items"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

,----[ (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") ]
| `gcc-self'
|      If `(gcc-self . t)' is present in the group parameter list, newly
|      composed messages will be `Gcc''d to the current group.  If
|      `(gcc-self . none)' is present, no `Gcc:' header will be
|      generated, if `(gcc-self . "string")' is present, this string will
|      be inserted literally as a `gcc' header.  This parameter takes
|      precedence over any default `Gcc' rules as described later (*note
|      Archived Messages::), with the exception for messages to resend.

|      *Caveat*: Adding `(gcc-self . t)' to the parameter list of `nntp'
|      groups (or the like) isn't valid.  An `nntp' server doesn't accept
|      articles.
