No, maildrop doesn't call Amavis. Amvis is called by postfix in
master.cf:

smtp-amavis unix -      -       n       -       2       smtp
    -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
127.0.0.1:10025 inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
    -o content_filter=
 
I don't have a file runamavis

I am assuming that it is maildrop that is calling Amavis, or possibly
procmail?  You should configure the global call to Amavis to only
execute under certain conditions, e.g. if the file $HOME/runamavis
exists.  You can also do this for the server side filtering.  e.g. if
header ***SPAM*** and file exists $HOME/filterspam then deliver the
message to the Spam folder instead of INBOX.  You should then setup a
simple plugin in Squirrelmail that allows users to enable Amavis and
enable spam folder filtering.  This would require some source level
hacking but with serversidefilter as a guide it shouldn't be impossible.
Another possibility would be to make runamavis and filterspam columns in
your MySQL mail user database (assuming your using MySQL as a backend of
course).  That would be easier to do...

The end result is that users who use Squirrelmail and/or IMAP can turn
on Amavis and spam folder delivery while POP3 users don't need to be
bothered with checking their Spam folder.
