Ive read that you need to send and email to the user first in order to create the necesary folder for it to work but how do i achieve that?, as you can see my english is not in good shape so please dont be mad while reading this post ;)

Thanks in advance

If it is going to work at all it won't need the IP only MX. If the mail software is set to recognize the mail at the host setting the IP may not work properly. Both MX records have the same priority so it might default to the IP first. Also, Check the host and domain setting in the network external adapter ip settings and also the mail settings. If you want to pick up the mail at the IP sometimes you need to show the IP as follows: john.doe@[199.201.222.1]
With server settings as: [199.201.222.1] as the host
