Niklas,

The OUTPUTFORMAT support is only available in MapServer 4.x and later.  Also
true 24bit support isn't available in 3.6.x.  However, you should be able
to select an IMAGETYPE of JPEG, and set the quality via the QUALITY keyword
in 3.6.x.  I believe the image is still rendered with an 8bit palette, and
then before writing to the JPEG file is expanded to 24bit RGB.  This is not
ideal, but may be sufficient for your purposes.

Best regards,
