How does (disable_)VRFY(_command) work?

What does VRFY verify against?? Unix passwd or shadow or PAM or ..???
On a test machine, we left the default (support of VRFY) but assuming
the syntax is "VRFY ", no matter what I type in, I get
252 responses (for both valid and invalid destination addresses).

In what context would "disable_vrfy_command" be applicable (or perhaps
more precisely, in what context does VRFY actually return accurate
information that I might want to hide from outsiders?)?

Thanks!
