Are they possibly being rejected because they are too large? Many ISPs 
and mail providers won't accept attachments larger than a certain size, 
and often that is fairly small (1-5 MB, usually closer to the 5 MB).

images, even JPEGs are often large these days. Too many people take pics 
with their 5 MP camera and then try to send 6 multi megabyte images to 
someone over email. They don't know about the concept of resizing the 
picture.

Yes, the server should be deleting the messages when the client tells it 
to delete them. Given your above info, I'd say either Entourage is 
failing to tell the server to delete them, or the server is failing to 
delete them. But either way, something is definitly not correct.

Any chance your hard drive is corrupt? Maybe the files are failing to 
delete because the server can't delete them.
