Another attempt and full error message
- name: add email alias to /etc/alias
    action: lineinfile dest="/etc/aliases" backup=yes state=present 
insertafter=EOF line="root':'     [email protected]"

results in

# Person who should get root's mail
#root:          marc
root':'     [email protected]

which is nicely quoted but not correct.
