You need to set a domain or subdomain with the A record for that subdomain matching the IP address of your server. Your MX record then lists the domain / subdomain for the server:
i.e. MX record = mail.mywebsite.co.uk
A record for mail.mywebsite.co.uk = IP.IP.IP.IP
Of course if your Virgin Media IP is dynamic, you could have difficulty tracking it if it changes.

I currently use dydnsuser.homeip.net from dydns.
What i dont understand is if streamline dont allow me to change my MX record how can i get the incoming mail to me!
At present it is mailserver.xxxxxxx.co.uk and i know the IP address.
