It does already.

All mails that are tested for junk by Evo are processed by SA. SA by
default learns mails as ham or spam based on a threshold value (see SA
configuration). As the threshold usually is more extreme than the 5
point necessary for being marked as spam, not all mails are learned
automatically. Again, this is a SA only setting, as SA learns the mails.

Any (false classified) mail that gets marked manually for ham ("non
junk" in Evo terms) or spam  ("junk") will be learned by SA. Evo calls
'sa-learn' always when marking manually.


Again, this is with SA running on the local client. I don't know the
details about your actual setup and the mail server...
