It differs like this:

With PRDR, the server can give a single response if all the responses would 
be the same. There's a slight efficiency there.

When giving a full response, the format is like LMTP except that it starts 
with a "353" response, eg "353 content analysis has started".

So, this is more like LMTP, but is a bit more efficient.

Furthermore, PRDR requires strict adherence to timeout specifications, and 
requires use of pipelining, in order to reduce the chances of losing 
responses. That all seems like an improvement on both XEXDATA and XLMTP, 
and therefore worthwhile.
