Besides Steve's wise answer I also recommend regarding the X-Trace: 
header field, I suggest you have a look at:

Hide the Injection-Info header

There is no built-in support for suppressing generation of the 
Injection-Info header.  You can, however, remove it from inside a Perl 
posting filter.  Try using a posting filter like this:

     sub filter_post {
         $modify_headers = 1;
         delete $hdr{'Injection-Info'};
         return '';
     }

Note that you have to set $modify_headers to make changes to the article 
header effective in the actual posted article.  Instead of removing the 
header, you can also alter it if you modify $hdr{'Injection-Info'}.
---

This method of course works for other headers.
I hope it answers your needs in case you wish to hide other headers than 
the X-Trace: one or the Injection-Info: one.

And welcome to INN by the way.  Do not hesitate to ask questions here or 
in news.software.nntp in case you need some help.
