No, auto-learn learns only from mails with particularly high or low
scores. The default thresholds are

auto_learn_threshold_nonspam    -0.5
auto_learn_threshold_spam       10

You could override those thresholds, but any false positives/negatives
would skew the statistics. I'd follow the suggestion in the sa-learn
manual and train it periodically with hand-classified mail.

(So to answer one of your other questions, it's a good idea to keep
caughtspam for sa-learning, at least for a month or two).
