You can use a block indentation 
indicator http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2793979

e.g:

- blockinfile:
    dest: /etc/postfix/master.cf
    insertafter: "^submission inet n       -       n       -       -       
smtpd$"
    block: |2
        -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
        -o ...

The number specifies how many spaces there are that are meaningful, so 
there's a total of 8 leading spaces, 6 of which are yaml indentation and 2 
for the block itself.
