X-Trace

You should do it in filter_nnrpd.pl because the X-Trace: header field 
you want to remove is generated by nnrpd, when the article is posted.

Something like:

sub filter_post() {
   $modify_headers = 1;
   $hdr{'X-Trace'} = undef;
   return "";
}


You can of course modify X-Trace: instead of removing it.
You can also do it only for the users you want to anonymize.  If they 
are authenticated, $user contains the user name.

Yes, exactly.  See the section named "The nnrpd Posting Filter".
