The CCV/AVS validation is usually optional in your merchant account settings, you can enable/disable it.

With verisign the only thing required is the card # and exp date. (And I don't' think they even check the expiration date properly). Address and card code are checked but come back as extra information that a lot of the merchants don't use.
