Most likely, very much out of date when it comes to the latest and
greatest, but if you don't care about that, you should still be fine
if you periodically check for security updates.

You probably want to put it into $HOME/.bash_profile, since that's
used for login shells, like the comments in that file say. If you want
to have nano be the default for all users on your system, (not
recommended), then you can put it into /etc/profile instead.

Without seeing the tale end of your /var/log/mail.log, I'm not sure
anybody can be of much help here.

I would suggest installing the debian-reference-en package, assuming
you haven't done so already, and that English is your preferred
language:
apt-get install debian-reference-en
and then typing
debian-reference
at the prompt will open the main page in your default web browser.
