$ msfconsole -q -x 'setg RHOSTS 10.0.0.10; use auxiliary/scanner/smtp/smtp_enum; set USER_FILE user.txt; advanced; run; exit;'
RHOSTS => 10.0.0.10
USER_FILE => user.txt

Enabling VERBOSE
again, working as expected, this time, as you can see, there is much more verbose output (and matches up in advanced output)
$ msfconsole -q -x 'set VERBOSE true; setg RHOSTS 10.0.0.10; use auxiliary/scanner/smtp/smtp_enum; set USER_FILE user.txt; advanced; run; exit;'
VERBOSE => true

$Disabling VERBOSE
Now, this is where it doesn't do as expected.
advanced is reporting its disabled.
However, the output is verbose.
$ msfconsole -q -x 'set VERBOSE false; setg RHOSTS 10.0.0.10; use auxiliary/scanner/smtp/smtp_enum; set USER_FILE user.txt; advanced; run; exit;'
VERBOSE => false
RHOSTS => 10.0.0.10
