Whenever Entourage in Office 2008 tries to connect to my .Mac email to send
an email out it fails. It might be an Apple problem, I was just wondering if
anyone else had been having these problems.

Do you have a valid SMTP Server setting in your Entourage setup for .Mac?
The ,Mac server for incoming mail (IMAP or POP3) is mail.mac.com, but that
doesn't work for outgoing mail. You have two choices for SMTP server:

1) Use smtp.mac.com. In the advanced settings click "SMTP server requires
authentication" and "Use same settings as receiving mail server".

2) Use your ISP's outgoing mail server, and set the advanced settings to
suit that server's requirements. For example if you use a Verizon DSL or
FIOS connection, the SMTP server should be outgoing.verizon.net, and under
advanced settings select "requires authentication" and "log on using" and
add your Verizon username and password.
