Are there best practices for avoid OS username enumeration on a mail relay?
Or is it something that maybe I've misconfigured?
E.g. the nmap smtp-enum-users script shows some default users.

Host is up (0.13s latency).

PORT   STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open  smtp
| smtp-enum-users:
|   root
|_  admin


I have this parameter set "disable_vrfy_command = yes"
I have the default parameter "local_recipient_maps =
proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps"
I have tested this parameter by removing the values, but it did not seem to
make a difference.


perhaps a combination of smtpd_soft_error_limit, smtpd_hard_error_limit, smtpd_error_sleep_time together with fail2ban

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_soft_error_limit
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_hard_error_limit
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtpd_error_sleep_time

Note that this is ineffective against distributed attacks.
Well, perhaps fail2ban can match networks like /24
